Just remember, you get what you pay for. They'll probably ride really rough and make lots of noise, if I were to guess.

...it clearly says coilovers...but the picture of the product shows only springs... email 'em for clarification, but I'd expect springs only...

I'm really not interested in them, but for that price (cheaper than most springs) it did get my attention. Seems fishy because they are a US company selling them, but the Yaris they show is a RS which is not sold in the US. I'm going TRD for my suspension to keep the warranty valid.

You can replace your suspenion and keep your warranty. I've owned three new cars that I've put lowered suspensions on and have never had a problem.

These are not coilovers. You can call them adjustable springs, at best. And for that price I would be willing to be that these either

a) do not fit properly
b) ride very rough
c) blow out the rest of your suspension
d) more than likely all of the above

"These coilovers will work with the stock struts, But it is highly recomended that you use these with aftermarket struts."


please don't consider these, get youself something from a reputable manufacturer, after all you are driving a toyota:wink:

... then again:
So how can you be satisfied if you haven't installed? I love shit like that. Alphafox complained to the dealer his TRD exhaust was too loud, and the dealer said he could return it if it wasn't installed. How are you going to know if you'll be satisfied unless you install it first :confused:. I think the old saying if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.

Well, the way I understand a disclaimer like that would be for the item to at least look like it was never installed. I wouldn't mind someone to install the product I just sold to you as long as you don't return a dirty scratched item which will be harder for me to sell later.

Don't buy them. I bought no name springs and they turned out to be ok but I just couldn't trust them. There was nothing/no one to back them. Get a ground Control Kit, or the Megans, or Tein or just get a set of springs and keep your struts for a while but you can have a good quality name brand of springs for that price.

don't get these "coilovers". i used this type of no brandname-crap-from-ebay before on my civic hatch and it ran like shit. the quality is garbage. buy somehting better, even if you have to pay more, you'll be glad.
don't do it.

+1. these are just sleeves and springs. they are not equivalent to a coilover setup. i guess you can try to match the appropriate damping if you decide to go that route.

These are just adjustable springs, not coilovers, a true coilover kit comes with all the needed set struts/shocks/springs/etc...

I would not recommended these but i have used no name spings like this in the past (97 corolla) and honestly i cannot complain about them, but i am sure others will.
