got tires/wheels today (pics)

[death is my gift]

so i went with the 17" wheels. i am happy and annoyed at the same time. i think it looks funny because the car could use some lowering. there is too much of a gap between the actual car and the tire. but, the dude at discount tire said if i lower it, it will void the warranty on my car. and, i can't do that. so...i guess i'll have to deal with it looking funny. or something.

yep, time to lower the car

what tires did you go with?

you will void the warranty on the suspension components of the car, none of which you are going to have problems with, you could go through toyota and have the TRD kit installed, that would be a nice drop with 17 inch wheels and you would still have your warranty

your car looks sexxxy, I think that almost every owner here with aftermarket wheels has done a drop in the car, about the warranty I think is BS, I've taken my car to the dealership a couple of times and they havnt said anything. So go ahead and dropped and keep the original springs if it worries you :thumbup:

i'm definitely going to look into dropping it. it's so pretty....excuse me, sexy, that i want it to look great. not just good. i have no idea how much lowering costs. i may have to wait a few weeks. after these wheels i am broke as a joke. and, thanks.

It looks good!

I am still sporting steel, but one of these days!

[Astroman]

If your really worried about the warranty, just grab some TRD springs and shocks/struts. I too am waiting to lower my car after going broke on my 17" wheels & tires. (Went over credit card limit :cry:)

I paid $150 for Tanabe DF and did the install myself with the help of Chris07LB DIYit was a breeze to do the install

that's not bad at all. for some reason i was thinking it would be about a grand. phew. and, my gf's brother has a shop. he can do the install for free.....but i like to pay him.

Death, I'll sell you a brand new set of Tanabe DF210 for 135. if you want. I spent 155. so I am losing a little but I am really thinking Megan coilovers right now:drool:

It would be a local pick up or drop off so it would save you on shipping. Perfect drop for 17" wheels. I am on 15" so I really want a little more drop.

Just let me know.:headbang:

[churp]

The Megan springs give a 1.5" drop and I purchased for $117 shipping included. Haven't seen anyone else on this forum paying much attention to them...really don't know why other than following the crowd. I'm real happy with them and the firmer ride...can't imagine better unless you want 2" drop from the DF's. Inexpensive doesn't always mean inferior or we would all put 102 octane in!

i called Toyota. they said it will void my suspension warranty, not the warranty on the entire car.

so now, i have a decision to make. i think we all know what that will be

But of course we realize you have chosen to lower the car, your point is? :biggrin:

I paid 125, my brother and I threw them in, in an afternoon - if I ever have to go to the dealer, i saved the stock ones in the DF box in the garage. Toss em back in.....no problems...

[redyaris]

Your ride is looking good Death. The red and black attack.

[Ryosuke]

It looks great, go ahead ando lower it with tanabe nf210 springs, they give a decent drop

[mygfdrivesayaris]

What Toyota doesnt know wont hurt them --- Lower it, align it, keep the facotry springs, then in the unlikely event that you have a problem, put factory stuff back on, align it, get your free work done, then lower it and align it. I have never had a problem with any of my lowered vehicles.
