I bought my yaris in November of last year and being one of only a few of them Ive actually seen in the area Ive never had a chance to really have a close look at another one.
This past november a coworker bought a HB, 2007 model year obviously.
He now parks right beside me and I just noticed my HB rides about 1.5" lower than his.
I didnt get any spring upgrade on mine so Im curious why it rides lower, couldnt be sagging / settling springs already could it?
Anyone else notice a difference?

I guess this would be more applicable to canadians and those overseas but anybody park beside another yaris and notice any differences?

wow, 1.5 inch difference? could it be your rims are closing the gap?

Dont you have a big-ish system in the back of yours? :confused:

Is he also in 14" wheels, or 15's?

hes on 14's as well, the system in the hatch is around 60lbs +/- . If that is the reason for the ride height the Yaris does an excellent job of weight distribution from front to back.

Yes, one can see a difference if the car is not on a horizontal surface.
