Plan to do these either Spring Break or summer:

1. TRD RSB
2. Get window tint redone because of bad install
3. Center caps for wheels
4. Resonator
5. Grounding kit
6. Tint front corners
7. TRD spoiler
8. Possibly an HID kit
9. Spring(Tein)/strut(TRD or Tokico)/coilovers (used K-sport/Tein)
Debating between new springs and struts, or a set of used coilovers..

Quick question: Is anyone familiar with Tein springs? What is the difference between the S-Tech springs (set of 4) and the Racing Springs (set of 2 with higher spring rates)? I was interested in swapping out my front Eibach springs with the Tein Racing Springs if they are compatible.

1. Full detail, polish+wax
2. TRD/Eibach Springs
3. Tanabe Medallion Exhaust
4. Debadge.
5. Fog Light Mod
6. Paintless Dent Repair

Tein Springs are more of an 'import' brand then the Eibachs. The Tein's would probably be stiffer and give you a lower drop and more agressive look. The Racing Springs would be even stiffer then the S-Techs, I'm not sure on the drop difference, but Eibachs are usually 1-1.4" while Teins can go as much as 2.1" or so, depends on the type of car and engine though.

funny you should ask.. everything is just tentative

1. I'd love some tint but it's not really a need to do
2. I think I'm just going to get some 16's to put the stock tires onto for this summer so I can afford a few other mods.. if i don't get anything else ill probably have some new 18's
3. Possibly some smoked LED tail lights (but who knows how that's going)
4. Springs... eventually
5. White out front and rear Toyota emblems.. What do you guys think?
6. debadge... eventually
7. SE grille... eventually
8. V8.. just kidding


I'm not really in a hurry to do anything in particular, since ill be out to sea the months of may and june, maybe july, all i really HAVE to do is get my snow wheels off.. and this list is more of what I'd like to do before the next winter season

Thanks for the info. If the racing springs are compatible, I'll most likely get those. You should be happy with the TRD/Eibach springs though.

Teins don't have springs for the V6

1. Install H&R springs (actually, sooner than I thought)
2. TSX retro with angel eyes
3. 35% tint front
4. RSB (if we can get 25 people on the gb!)


Still thinkin about upgrading the A/V dept. But Watchcrazy is supposed to hook me up with the full JBL kit, and I plan on just installing those instead.
