just wanted to make sure the Tien S tech Spring model# NPC91L which is meant for the 07+ Yaris 3drs will work w/ my 2010 Yaris Sedan? I believe its suppose to be a 1.9 inch drop but considering my cars a sedan what do you guys think will be the end result in the drop w/ my heavier sedan? Will I also need to remove my wiper assembly like ive read in the DIY section since mines a sedan? Thanks

First thing's first. The sedan is the lighter of the three Yarii. However, something about it makes it have a lower drop on the same set of springs.

Second, it'll fit. I'm running the S.Tech's. Drop is approximately 2.1" Here what mine looks like on 16" rims with 205/45/16 tires.

Oh, I have coil spacers/lifter in the rear, so it's raised about 1/2".

Thanks for the response and the pic's, looks nice!!!
I believe tho that the 2.1 drop is for the S tech Springs made for the 5 door, the 3dr Stech springs are suppposebly a 1.9 inch drop! Wondering if there will be a prob using the 3dr springs on my sedan if itll be more of a drop or less of a drop... Did you have to remove you're wipers when you were doing your spring install? Thanks again!

The box says "3-door only". lol. There's no difference. Also, trust me, the sedan drops like the 5-door, not sure why since the sedan is lighter. I wasn't that knowledgeable when my suspension was installed, but I believe the cowl was removed. Since then, I've became more knowledgeable. lol. I'm installing suspension parts on Si's now. hahahaha

This was done back in the beginning of 07, so that's why my memory is a little fuzzy. hahaha.

It rides okay. I have the TRD Sportivo shocks. My family and friends (who are not into cars) hate the ride tho. They find it too "bouncy" while I say it could be a little stiffer/firmer. hahahaha
