Here are before and after pics of the first stage of our project Yaris'. We did Megan Racing Coilovers and MB Wheels' Weapon in 17". I really like the Bronze, but they only had one pair, so I went gun metal on mine, Mark got the bronze.

My Car Served as the "before". Note- I did install the US Spolier on there, it looks great. I did it on both.

And the Rally Sport (non-lowered with 17's):

:iono: We didn't have time to finish both cars as the MR Coilovers took quite a bit loger and required some decent mods to some sheet metal under the plastic facia at the bottom of the windshield. I did rally this home with the new tires and once they came into temp and the mold-release was worn off, they did really well.

Today I also installed Mark's Weapon R intake, the Sport-look pedals in my car, the rear bumper protectors on both cars (to keep the bumper from getting all jacked taking boxs of T's in an out!)

Look for another post about Megan Racing Coilovers First Impressions, we still need to set them up and do the install on my car!!:burnrubber:

:thumbsup: Looks great I like the tuck in the front.

On Marks wit the coilovers, is that the lowest setting, or as low as you can go with that wheel/tire setup?

Looks fantastic!

[YamilR]

I might have to jump onboard with the coilovers :thumbup:

[largeorangefont]

Those are MB weapon wheels right? Looks great!

Can't be the lowest.:iono:

That looks like about 2 inches in the rear to me. I'll bet you could get a full 3. inches or more drop with the Megans. I better find out before I order them.:laugh:

[Chris07LB]

Keep in mind his wheels offset.. that may be as low as he gets without rubbing/tearing anything apart, front and rear.

Looks perfect as is in his pics.. I was asking because Id still be keeping 15's on mine.

15 inchers here too and I am more concerned with looks - I think vanderkitten is more concerned with racing and I am sure you are right any lower in the rear and yes, rub away the fenders and whatever else is in the way


looks great I am thinking from what I have read on the Megan site you can go so low that the car wouldn't be drivable anymore:headbang:

[Ryosuke]

Looks very nice with that wheels and dropped. :thumbsup:

No, it can go a couple inches lower, obviously not with this set-up, the front is about as low as you'd want it... but keep in mind, all we did was put them on (and WAYYYYYY over tension the front pre-load... ooops:biggrin: )

Now we'll go back and measure everything up and set it correctly... the rears we did not adjust the pre-load or ride height (I can't say that there is a scientific intial setting that these come set in...) but it seems like where I'd want mine.

If you were running 15's for auto X or track, you can definitely drop this another 2 inches... or just for looks!!:thumbup:

Thanks for the props!

I think vanderkitten is more concerned with racing

The goal of these, once finished, is to serve a tuner promo cars and we'll be doing a video of a girl getting into racing using one of these cars. (She'll do an HPDE CLass, and then some AutoX). Her boyfriend lives across the street from me and races RX-7s (his dad, incidentally, is an Ohlins master technician and told me about their new shocks that are a mere $4000... EACH!!!!)

So, we'll see when that happens, maybe in a month, and of course the business write-off for us is always nice, too.

If any of you dudes ever want a hook-up on some VK T's and stuff for your ladies, PM me for a discount coupon.
