Has anyone heard about this? It look like a quick way to lower/lift your car.

It's only $8 so I'm considering it.
Any thoughts?

I love the back of my car, the front... not so much

This not new, it's as old as dinosaur poop.
Yes, it works but it may have a negative effect on ride but it's easily reversed.
Place a few boards under the tire to get the springs together and follow the directions.

I wanted to put them on the front springs but that doesn't look possible.
Also, what kinda negative effects would they cause and how would they be fixed?
pictures?
Haha, if I decide to buy them I will update you

Your basically changing the preload of the spring. So it will ride like poop.

Mehh, I think it's worth a try but only wanted it for the front but there is no space for it

There is a reason it costs what it costs, and people buy springs and/or coilovers instead.

That is simply not the way to lower your car.

^ what he said...

But at $8 I would get them just to jack the yaris up. I'd like to see what the car looks like lifted. That's would be awesome.

I don't think I would necessarily want to use them for purposes of lifting/lowering. What they are good for however is temporarily using them as coil spacers to minimize spring compression if you are carrying a lot of weight in the rear. For that function I personally prefer high density rubber coil spacers.

^ Or shock bump stops -- I sell both. At least there is some give.

With those metal things, the ride... hello Mr. Chiropractor.
