Serious questions about lifting a Yaris.

[Slick]

Hey all, so I have a question. This is not bs or a joke. I was trying to figure out a way to safely lift the yaris and not greatly affect the geometry. IMO, I would like the look. Mostly cause I'm a huge fat man :P and it's a tawny clown car lol

Now, I don't care if u think it will look stupid or what not. I just want to know if it would be feesible, maybe not advisable, to lift the yaris 1" maybe but probably not 2". I know CT made brackets for crashy. But would I be able to buy springs that were taller?

When I made Crashy's lift kit, I first started looking for longer springs. The diameter of the front springs are the same as many small trucks/SUVs, so you can definitely find longer ones. I opted for the bracket lift, as I had plenty of 1/4" plate steel on hand, and I was looking at $50+ shipping for a set of used springs. For the front, besides increasing the length of the strut assembly (by longer spring, longer strut, or bracket), you have to lengthen the strut stabilizers. I cut the ends off of my existing ones and welded a longer piece in between.

Air bags? The new Kido coilovers can actually raise the car up a good amount

Rubber spring spacers won't necessarily lift your car, but will prevent the coils from compressing all the way. I'm using them in my rear right now so that I don't rub as bad. Works quite well.

Kind of like this (4" lift + Maxxis Bighorn tires):
