Okay, I've run into quite a few Yari parked in a parking lots lately and, yes, I ALWAYS go over to measure the gap between the rear tire and the bottom of the body... That space is ALWAYS *at least* 1" shorter than it is on my car, which was bought NEW off a dealer's lot... What is the deal with this???

It still bugs me to death, so I'm still thinking about investing in lowering springs.

1.5; come in...

:rolleyes:

I've moved this to the proper section for you, from general to suspension.

Are they carrying cargo?

Wonder if 3dr and 5dr use the same spring? I would expect the 5dr to be lower if so. Maybe check part #s
When measuring, measure from center of rim to the arch. This takes out variables in tire size etc.
In my alignment machine there is always an option for "w/ rough road package" on Yaris'. I've never seen or heard of one, but maybe you got it :biggrin:

I could definitely go mud-boggin' in this thing. Don't carry cargo and, in fact, plan to have the back seat removed (which, I guess, will put me riding even HIGHER; ugh)...

Yea I just put my rear seats/moldings/brackets back in so I could get a little more weight and push down my ass too

I could point out how relatively easy it is to put the rear springs on and that you really don't have to put the fronts on if you didn't want to...

Anyway, hope you find a solution to your issues.

Solution = lowering springs. If you want adjustment: coilovers.
