Well I am on a budget so l can not get a fully loaded tC.So I am only getting the ground effects, scion security, airbags and chrome license plate. My parents are paying for most of it so l do not wanna waste too much money.So I am not sure whether the 18'' rims (on the scion site) or the trd springs would enhance my tc is looks more. ???

TRD man is the best thing.

trd springs dude ..

''Have a scion and got the trd and it great'' - idiot

Anyway.. l prefer the tC is stock 17 is over the optional 18 inchers. l would get it lowered, and save up for better rims. Good luck!

l know how it goes man. l really appreciate my parents getting me a tC, but l had to be really selective with my options! l would not get the lower springs even though they're great quality (dude, TRD enough said) because l hate rubbing the bottom of my car on bumps & in parking spaces. The 18'' r pretty sweet looking, but l heard the wheels & tires that come on that package r even less gripy than the 17'' with the yokohama tires ('07 tC). Spend the money on the sway bar & the cold air intake instead of the springs. The sway bar really does eliminate alot the body roll (not that there is alot to begin with). Hope u enjoy ur new tC.

l would add the trd springs. if you get the bigger rims, it will change your odometer readings, change your mileage, use more/less gas, make ride more bumpy, all those little things just for rims.get the springs less drawbacks. Not saying rims are a bad idea, just that you have to filter all of that into it also.

Anything TRD, except for the springs & shocks r overrated & overpriced. Not to mention the dealer prices, OMG! There r other aftermarket companies with better quality products & cheaper. l would say go with the TRD springs & buy aftermarket wheels. Quality is what u want & anything by Rays, Volk, PIAA is the way to go in wheels.

Check out this site, it is where all Scion owners go to get info on installs & reviews. There is a thread on there about first upgradges too. l am on there, check out my ride! my screenname:

Go online buy springs from Ebay and get them installed - you can get the TRD is from ebay and the dealer will SCREW you. 18 is are cool but if you drop to low you might rub. I've dropped mine about 2 1/2 inches and rub a little bit when turning but not bad.
