Lowering Springs or Coilovers?

[DJ_Trizzak]

which is good to get? or would you just buy lowersing springs for now - then get shocks after? -

[yrsdrgn]

if you want to get lowering springs now and coils later...why waste money on the springs? just jump on over to coils from the start hehe and it depends on what you want from the lowering.......for comfort, more performance etc...

if you have the money, i'd get coilovers. i wouldn't mind being able to adjust ride height and/or dampening.

oh ok, cause I put equipment in my car when I dj - so ya it lowers it hundreds of pounds LOL - so I guess it's good to get coilovers then eh? lol - so I don't mess up my suspension?

[yrsdrgn]

I'd go with coilovers but you don't necessarily mess up your suspension by installing springs and I'm sure lots of YW members can testify for that.

Springs if you're just after the look, coilovers if you want some performance.

Suspension are consumable items that wear in around 40+ thousand miles so whether or not you simply accelerate the wear of the stock set by using lowering springs is irrelevant becasue if you didn't want to prematurely blow them you'd just pull a perfectly good working set of absorbers out of the car and chuck them aside for coilovers.

That'd be quite a waste so you might as well use them anyway.

I run springs and plan to go with Koni absorbers when the stockies wear out.

Do they make Koni's with adjustable valving for our car? I have not seen these yet (at least in US)...

Do they make any aftermarket sets for the Yaris - I've only seen TRD.
I'm probably going to pull it all out in the spring time for Tein basics (which i should have just done from the beginning)

Yeah...

My deal is I am autocrossing in stock class. Not allowed to change springs but can use adjustable shocks/struts.

But since there arent any I guess I'll wait an do coilovers next year. I don't want to move up to STS right now--there is a girl that could kick my ass so hard I'd travel back in time! :laugh:

Not yet, but I hope it would be soon.

i got the whole trd setup coming next week. Hopefully have it installed next week. I'll let you know how it performs.
