Ready for Spring!
Hey guys, it's been a while. I've been hibernating during the winter months and gathering parts and now it's finally spring!! It's also my bday in two days so I decided to get myself a little present

Those looks great! I can't wait to see how your car looks with everything installed. What kind of quotes are you getting for the spring install?

Thats expensive. The local motorsport shop here gave me a quote for $200 installed and aligned...and I thought that was expensive!

But that quote is also for the brake pads, rotors, sway bar and everything else in the first picture. Also gotta remember, this is Canada, and everything is more expensive up here

Nextmod, I think it was around $100 for the rear and $65 for the front, not 100% sure tho...but one thing I do know is that they provide a wider range for camber compared to Ingals.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

The specs on the VS-XX's are 19x8.5 A-Disk front 19x10 O-Disk rear +33 offset on both. With Toyo Proxies T1S tires, 225/35/19 and 255/30/19. Also going to be putting 15mm spacers on to give it the VIP look.
