I used to own a heavily modded CrX, and this Vitz was supose to be my daily driver, without the stress of an unreliable race car.

My first mod was to add the JDM Vitz RS badges (front, rear, and both sides). I think that was the beginning of the end. I bairly even made it a month ( 02/24/2005 )

Since it was winter time I managed to get through to May before I started to go hog wild. My next modification was to add Tein S-Tech lowering springs ( 05/06/2005 )

Mine is on the right in both pictures.

Not the best picture, and a I think it is a little difficult to tell that it was infact lowered. It did handle quite a bit better though, and it person there is no mistaking it...
The springs were rediciously easy to install. We didn't even have to take the wheels of in the rear, and the springs were weak enough to compress by hand. The fronts were money in the bank aswell.
