2006 Toyota Yaris 5dr. LiftBack Lowering Springs

[yaya]

I went to a local performance parts store here in Toronto today for some lowering springs. I was ready to buy the Tein S techs when they told me that they only make springs from 2007 and up Yaris models. I asked if there are other lowering spring that's compatible with the 2006 model and the guys said no.

Can I use the 2007 springs on the 2006 model?

Thoughts?:confused:

i believe you can use them!..

2006 and 2007 yaris liftbacks are the same car..its just that they didnt come out in the U.S. until 2007. (someone please correct me if i am wrong as i am still learning lol!!)

I have a 2006 5dr liftback as well..and the same thing happens to me all the time..like when i bought my axle-back most of them were advertised to fit "2007+ 3dr liftbacks"..when searching online for parts or at places like canadian tire most of the time you will have to ask for parts for a 2007 yaris or else there will usually be no listing because the majority of their parts come from the U.S...

^ Exactly right.

You can use 07-08 springs on the 2006 model.

2006 and 2007 Canadian model is exactly the same, you can use them on your 2006 model.

Thanks everyone for the quick reply!

What springs do you guys have on your yaris'?

I have Tanabe DF210's.

I have 195/55/15 tires on mine. Do you think I should go for Tien S techs (1.9 1.9 drop) or Tanabe DF210 (1.6 1.8 drop) just a bit worried that the Tien's will settle more than 2"

get megan springs 1.5" drop

im, however, am on megan coilovers w/ 195-50-15's....

i was living in fredericton, nb at the time i bought the megan exhaust and coilovers and had them shipped to a place in Maine just across the border

what kind of parts are you looking for? i might be able to help you out...

[yaya]

other than springs...I'm looking into a cold air intake (whatever is available) and possibly some rear brace or a strut bar.
