I had the TRD sway bar put on at the dealership when I bought it and I was limiting myself a little. it is already lowered 1.8 inches on Drag-19 in 15inch.
I will probably get the Tanable front sway bar after a little while though. |

it only added 200 to the car price but I had already knocked the price of the car down to 14 even and they installed it as part of the negotiated price.
the loweing springs i believe cost me 120 but i bought them off of my mother-in-law and install and alignment was 50 or 60 the Drag-19s where on sale so i lucked out and got those shipped for 350 and installed on the factory tires. |

That is going to be FUN. I think I'd go on overload just deciding what to do first.
But I digress.... I better get out some boxes...

nose to trunk, I'll start with removal of the front bumper and put the fogs in then go ahead and remove what will be replaced in the engine bay, starting with fluids seeing as i'm a few hundred miles from an oil change might as well go ahead and do one myself while i'm down there. while fluids are draining, i will change out the pulleys and once the fluids are completely drained i will go to the hoses and change out what is in the kit and then refill the fluids. follow that with installation of the header and intake. after that the grounding kit and the strut tower brace. once that is complete re-install the front bumper and run the wires for the fog. then lift the rear and install the exhaust. after that i go into the interior and finish the fog lights, the Scanguage II, and install the shift knob. then test drive time.

In the mail should have everything by the end of next week for a weekend project. probably will start off Friday. then lots of cursing and swearing to get the bolts off and get the new parts on. I'm so excited it is hilarious to see, lol.
