    Thanks.... naw I don't rib at(225/40/18).I do have a guy around me that does fender for $125 all the way around. I may get him to do it jus n case. as have a few sets of Coilovers in my watched eBay box for a while now. Would love to be lower but now I feel good with the tanabe nf210 because I have no issues rubbing or alignment and Toyota doesn't complain when I take it n. So I feel a little more comfortable like it is for now

    Seems like I lost about 4/5 mpg from the stock 17's

    I see where uninstall the rear wiper nozzle but where do you un hook the line so if u accidentally hit the spraying u won't have washer fluid squirting inside your car where the hose is in the back? is that somewhere under the hood where the front washer fluid line would be?

    I had started a thread about the car ''wandering'' awhile back, got the bad boy tuned up now. I added a TRD sway bar first thing, then installed a set of 16'' ''Konig Lace'' wheels with 215-55-16 Michelin Premier tires, next added the Cusco front and middle braces, yesterday I finished with the Cusco STB. The car is now LOTS more stable, planted at speed, and of course ''handles'' lots better. 18 wheelers and wind gusts no longer blow me around. I did lose 2-3 mpg by going with the 215-16'' tires---- well worth it to me. I have also added the chrome bottom strips, body side molding, rear bumper protector, a gold pin-stripe [ Sea Glass Green auto ] and a ''Pro Clip'' dash mount phone holders for myself and G/F-------through with it [for now].

    The spray nozzle is in the hatch. All u have to do is remove the center trim piece

    U can do either 1 of 2 things.

    Unhook the line from the nozzle, fold it in half & put a zip tie around it. This will pitch the line & keep fluid from leaking out. This is the easiest approach.

    The 2nd involves taking the lower splash shield off from the front bumper. The lines will be on the passenger side. This approach would require u to find something to plug the hole on the motor as fluid will just leak out once the hose is removed.
