Really happy with TRD springs!!!

[gojon17]

Hello everyone!, i just wanted to share my experience so far with the trd springs,ive only had them for a week, they are awesome and they lower the car just enough. Its my main vehicle, 50 miles a day, and family use.
Car drives better, a bit stiffer, not awful. i was gonna go for tanabe df210 or something lower but im glad i didnt.

Heres some pics!http://s155.photobucket.com/user/gojon17/media/1497525_10151942891480563_537512319_n_zps994fb3d7. jpg.html?sort=3&o=0

Nice, looks awesome...do you mind sharing your wheel and tire size, and details on the springs? Would greatly appreciate it. My car is completely stock with 15" alloys. I've noticed that the handling at higher speeds isn't very good, and I'm wondering if springs in combination with the right wheel and tire size would improve performance without compromising fuel efficiency and any mechanical issues. I once had i had a honda accord that i lowered after the first week that i bought it. The transmission ended up going out after 7 years because it put too much strain on the differential.

Hello buddy!!
At the moment the size of rims is stock OEM 185/60/15 tires that came factory. The lowering springs are the red Trd. Some people say different numbers but i think they only drop 1.3 all around. im sooo glad i didnt go for teins or df210 honestly. Yes it would have look sick with them but my car right now drives amazing and when i have my whole family i dont have to worry much about scraping. Edmonton has bad roads. I think my yaris looks pretty low compared to a stock one,and big difference of feel compared to before. And i also keep my guarantee with trds... If i ever buy another bigger family car i will just install coilovers in the yaris. For now Trd FTW:headbang:

sportline are the lower of the bunch i think ur thinking of pro they are only 1 inch around...i got sportline on mine and they are about 1.8 inch drop, for hb TRD is rated at .5 front and 1.5 rear ...urs sit really nice and low makes u wonder who really makes them for TRD.

found this link http://www.oempartworld.com/2395_PTR11-52070

my guess is that the weight difference between hb and sedan is what makes ur car look lower...anyway u look at it looks cool.

[Exiwolfman]

also look for anything that may fit Scion: xD same platform i think my sprtline springs are for xD cos there is no listing for a Yaris.

[gojon17]

Its weird how different sites say different things... I saw that one u linkef before... i also saw one that says 1.2 all around... Other says 1.3 all around and another one 1.5

i wonder why its different???... Idk exactly but my car sits at around 2 finger gap front and rear.. I will post pics of my fender gap before and after in a minute :):clap:

i love how ur car sits...and i agree all say different things who knows lol think best way would be coilovers ....ill take new pics of my car tomorrow and post too keep in mind im running 195 55 15 little smaller then stock 185 60 15 with that size i would have almost no gap.

question what is ur plan for wheels i find 16 up look awesome on sedan

[gojon17]

THE DIRTY ONES ARE BEFORE AND CLEAN CAR IS AFTER. but before i had 195/60/15 winter tires and after installing the trds i put my stock 185/60/15

looks good to low is not practical specially if its ur DD like mine ...made that mistake with my Integra it was 2 inch of the ground...broke my down pipe once , oil pan and my bumper looked like Swiss cheese...looked cool drove awesome but what a pain..lol

[Exiwolfman]

PS please dont cut springs

[gojon17]

Naaa i thought it was a dumb idea... For rims theres a small chance to go 17s but i would really like some cool 15 inch rims

PS please dont cut springs

[ddeschen]

Hi gonjon17, thanks for the pics, this is exactly what I'm looking for as a drop. I will go with TRD's even if they're about 80$ more expensive than others...

Found TRD springs in toronto cost is 225 plus tax and 10% I think that is little on an expensive side.
