I've had my Hotchkis sways installed for awhile now, but am just now posting pics.
Here's my son helping do the rear install

MrMeaty's 2005 Scion tC


(don't worry, he's not really under the car!)

I did the rear's first, and they were pretty simple, even though I used the wrong bracket which stripped a bolt. I fixed it later. Riding around for about a week with just the rears, I already felt the difference. The rear totally squats around the corners, but the front was still kinda soft, so it felt like the inside was lifting in the corners.

The front was a total pain, just because the bolts were really torqued on. It took me awhile, but...OH...was it ever worth it.

The Hotchkis Sways are deffinately the best mod you can do for the tC's suspension. It totally squats around the corners. Feels GREAT!

Looks great. I just bought a turbotoyotas kit for my 07 tC and I was wondering if you could help me out with the install? Looks like your is sweet. I'm not really getting what all the vacuum block is connected to. Could you explain it to me or maybe send me some pics? And is the waste gate safe to just install and run? Also where do both connections go on the wastegate? If you could help that would save a lot of time and I would greatly appreicate it. Thanks great set up.

That is one hell of a TC. Checked out the website and signed up. Sure would be nice to meet some other Scion owners here in Vegas. Those shots of that turbo make me want to finish my Talon so bad.
