Suspension Kit: Fully Adjustable or Lower Spring?

[JeremyG]

I've search all over but still wasn't satisfied. Planning to adopt one of the above mentioned. But before that would like to know more from an actual user out there. Questions are.. :

1) In terms of Durability, Which one will last you longer?
2) In terms of VALUE for money, Which one you will choose?
3) Do Fully Adjustable Suspension need to do regular maintenance for a certain period of time? How much does it cost you?

If you have you own words please do speak them out. That would probably help me on choosing which one to go for. Period. ;)

Lets that the ball rolling! :D

By the questions you are asking....

You are worried by the durability, maintenance, value for the money.


Go for the sport lowering springs.... period.

If you want some extra performance. Add sport shocks (TRD Tokico)

^ Agreed, but only based on post #1.

JeremyG, to answer well I would need to know what you intend to do with the car. What kind of driving do you do? Do you race?

I will say this, coilovers allow you to make adjustments without having to buy another set of springs or shocks. If you make the wrong choice with springs, you're stuck with them.

I ALWAYS go for coilovers, but I don't share your concerns, I care about adjustability and performance only.

I didn't vote yet.

good point right there guys.

Well Im pretty much looking for a comfort yet remains the low to the ground look on my Yaris. I do step pretty hard on the pedal sometimes but yea... not always. Comfort will be my main concern.

Springs then! You don't need and won't use all the features that coilovers would give you.

But do I still get the comfort (not too bumpy while driving) after lowering my Yaris? Since the road surface around my area aren't that smooth, some says that Coilovers could eliminate the bumpy feeling even when lowered. Now that really puzzled me up though.:frown:

Depends on the springs I guess.. Check the spring rate... some are soft while others are stiff

If you want comfort, leave it stock. You will absolutely lose some degree of ride quality by lowering the car, no matter how you do it.
