Tein Street Basis Coilover Install - 2007 Canadian Yaris Sedan NCP93 Stock
My very first real modification to the Yaris.
I intend to document as much of it as I can, for the simple purpose of providing that extra bit of information one would like to have before making a decision to modify the car. This all arose from my futile attempts at obtaining a downloadable digital copy of the hard copy documents shipped with the product.
Reason for coilovers before anything else: Just to test the effects of modestly lower ride height and stiffer street dampers.
"Drive the way the car wants to drive and the speed follows", I've been told. We'll see about that.
Some reading to get myself familiar:

TOYOTA YARIS NCP93L 07-10 4dr GSL70-11AS2
Notice in the link above that this product uses the exact same part number as that for the NCP91 hatchback
Let me begin with the most exciting thing of all today

Opened (first thing I always look for is the documentation, which was found tucked just under this strut assembly.)

Yes, that's a small chip in the thread of one of the Height Adjustment System (H.A.S.) bases. I don't think I should be too concerned.

More to come, still need to get the camber bolts.
