Spring Question

I am looking for an aftermarket spring with the least drop, I don't want to put stock springs back... No control with stock springs ;d, I am thinking of putting NF210s? ARe there any that have less drop? Thanks.

U can do some research about TRD, 1.2' drop, gd enough for me. Mine run on stock shocks, still comfy enough.

NF210's are 1.1/1.2, that is less than the TRD springs, which are closer to a 1.5" drop.

The NF210's are less stiff, only 10% over stock (just to compensate for the shortened spring length)

You all should see the under of my car. Its so low, the frame is kinda bashed in. I have a Carbing front control arm bar that was hella bent after hitting a pot hole.
The bottom side of my car looks like that.

Don't mean to go slightly off-topic, but if you're looking for the best control without a big drop, you could just save a big buck and run stock springs with a rear sway bar. It's all it really needs.

Easiest performance mod you could do to your Yaris. The 23mm is a bit thicker so it's going to tighten up things a bit more as far as handling goes (keeping the body roll flat). I'd say with the 23mm that while possible to do, have a friend on hand to help fit it on one side while you get the other. Mine anyways, was a very close fit for where you install it, so it helps to have another hand to line it up.

It's not hard to put on at all though. 4 bolts and your done! The difference it makes is quite surprising, especially the 23mm.
