lookin at S techs

[LBjoe]

Im running DF210's right now.. i've looked at some pictures its seems that the S Tech's def sit lower ALSO it looks even front to rear giving the yaris the stance i want.. The front of my car is about a quarter inch higher in the front (I'm picky and can tell the difference)... All in all i just want to know what some people think, I want it a bit lower and i know the stechs are a 1.9 front and rear vs 1.6f/1.8 rear.. Ill also be throwing on some Sportivo's when i do the work.. I hear the Stech/trd strut is a good set up. Let me know what u think.

The Stechs are awesome, and with the set up you want is a good choice too, but what size rims are you using?

You are right; a little lower and a great stance.

IMO the Tokico blues are a better shock/strut and will save you some money too.

I appreciate the response's just looking for a little reinforcement with my decision.. The front end sits higher than the rear and it drives me crazy with the 210's.. plus i want to eliminate more tire gap. ill have to research the blue's its been my previous knowledge that they are a suitable OEM replacement with lil to no performance gain. Rockin 16x7's ill rub a bit as i do now but i dont mind lol.

Your welcome bro, and yeah they will rub a little bit, post pics when your done before and after good luck

LBJoe - I absolutely agree with your take on the DF210s. The lower rear end just ruins the stance of the vehicle and is, IMO, very noticeable - especially on your own car!

The only comment I would have about dropping it further is this really affects your wheel choices and makes it harder to widen your stance with lower offset rims or wheel/hub spacers. I find the low rear with my 210s accentuates how inset the tire are from the body of the car. I love the look of a slammed car but if you're doing the daily schlep like me on city roads, it can eat away at you.

I definitely agree with Tokico HP Blues over the TRDs - much better value and a great with lowered set ups! I visited your garage - I have the AFE CAI as well and am very happy with it.

I have the Blue Tokico's as well and highly recommed them. I also replaced the springs with eibach and put 18" wheels with low profile tires.

I've noticed an increase in performance and a huge increase in handling. No rubbing at all.

Im set on the Stech/Tokico set up. Thanks for the advice people! Will post pics when i get it all on..

[detroiter]

Love my tein/tokico combo.

[big lo]

I had the Tein/Tokico blues set up as well, very nice in all aspects, I just changed my Teins for TRD sportivo springs and I don't regret it either, good luck and can't wait to see them pics

Get coil-overs. That way, you can adjust the height when you want to. Tein coil-overs would be a good choice. I had the s-tech/blue combo before, but couldn't stand my ride being so low all the time.

[detroiter]

Each time you adjust the height on coilovers, do you have to get a fresh alignment as well?

[LBjoe]

I would get coilovers but i dont feel like dropping that kind of money into the stance i can get from some springs.. yes there are budget coilovers out there but in my opinion when it comes to them u pay for what you get and they would still be about double the price of the spring/strut combo.. The car sits just a little too high in the front and the stechs will bring it right where i want it. And im throwing struts on the car because its got 30k on it worth of being ran with 210's and i figure i may as well throw a fresh set on it while the car's in the air and springs are coming off.
