Im looking at getting some lowering springs the Tein S tech's lower the car almost 2" has anyone done this drop and will the car still align to factory spec's? Ive used Eibach on other cars with good success, but on the Yaris it's only an inch drop! Please post your feedback on alignment after dropping your Yaris. :thumbsup:

1.2" thank you very much lol I like the trd springs, not too low but definately a decent drop, mine dropped more than 1.2 inches i think, and the ride is decent but when you start cornering it starts firming up....

i'm using the S.Tech's. never needed an alignment. the car drives straight. i haven't noticed any camber changes either. then again, i'm also using the TRD Sportivo shocks, so i don't know if that makes a difference.

same here :smoking: just going to ride on the stock steelies for a little more to see if any strange tire wear or mystery rubs or what not....

Thanks guys, check your tire for uneven wear, when you lower a car, After a drop you get negative camber which should accelerate tire wear. Unless you get an alignment. Has anyone gone for an alignment after the install. Do the teins bounce or pogo on the stock struts? They must be great on the sportivo's.

I am using Tanabe NF springs on mine and never had to align and I also went around the car and measured the height from the ground to the top of the wheel well and they are all exactly the same.

I've changed suspension twice and both times it was within factory specs , not perfect mind you , but within specs .
