Thanks man
lol I did grab my stuff lol i never left it there. But i just went back today and they got them mounted. Awesome work, very careful with my wheels, used the cheetah and normal compressed air only no need for the stupid little crowbar that im so afraid of lol Pics will not be up until ive lowered it back down to its normal ride height (raised it to reset preload for swift springs) |

Finally adjusted the ride height. Because of how much shorter my swift springs are, I have to thread so much more of the shock body down on the front coilovers and now the bottom of the threaded shaft is almost touching my axle cant really go much lower unless I cut the threaded shaft on the shock body.... maybe its time for bags Rear im pretty happy with, I can still remove a collar if I want more
This weekend it got a fresh wash with wax, cleaned the wheels, polished the lips, sanded/buffed/polished headlights and started on prepping my side skirts for paint, im gonna try and backyard rattle can them lets see how it goes lol |

I thought this day would never happen but in my endelss pursuit of being hella low, I impusively started buying parts for air ride. This monday I began purchasing parts not even 100% settled that I was going air but at this point its kind of late to look back. I thought being so pricey it would take me a while to piece together a kit but I alread purchased everything minus the bags and rear brackets so this should be done shortly here is what I have so far
Viair 444c Compressor (seller is including a free 3 gallon 4 port tank) Forjworks bag over coil Megan Specific front mounting plates for UAS Aero Sport Bags Lastly I picked up a manual management kit with all lines, fittings, switches, mounting hardware, wiring, everything in this kit minus the compressor and tank |

Yea man you took a hiatus when you started on the Z and i thought for a minute you parted out, now i see pics all over my FB, IG, blah blah with you and Connor so i was delighted to see Gnar 2.0 was still alive lol
I dont really want to bag and everytime I see my car im like hey its fine no need to go lower lol but then i flip back to hating my fitment and wanting to tuck my fender in my barrel lol ive realised i dont think ill ever be 100% happy with it but ill keep up the pursuit lol |

I did take a hiatus - winter made me dislike the car for some reason. And I've been working a lot lately so I haven't had much time for fun yaris stuff haha. Didnt help that I know no one in the subcompact game, I was getting lonely....to many honda kids here that I don't associate with lol. I'm glad Conor is over here, Makes it more fun!

For sure I get the same way, when stuff starts breaking, youre on your steelies for wintermode, no mods, and no fun meets with similar minded people, you just stop wanting to wrench and stop liking your car altogether lol
glad youve got a meet buddy now, I linked up with a crew comprised of all toyota/lexus/scion and theyve become some of my closest friends so that has helped as well. Glad youre back man, ill be waiting excitedly for updates |
