Micro Image lowering springs! - Toyota Yaris Forums

trunkout · 03-26-2014, 02:57 AM

After creeping in the background and reading and researching this forum... I ordered some Micro Image springs for my 09 yaris sedan. I MADE THIS ACCOUNT JUST FOR THIS POST! I'll stick around but I needed to get on hear after I put these springs on to warn people..... the ride.... IS PERFECT.

Feel free to ask me anything about them! And by the way.... WHO PUTS A 6MM HEX INSIDE OF A BOLT!?!?!?!?!?!

the question is.. WHY NOT? I wasn't able to remove one of them, so i had to replace the end link. not much of a choice.

Heat does wonders on bolts ....hit it fast with torch and air gun also vicegrips help to hold it from spinning ...works 9 /10 times lol

We were SO close to giving up on the first one in the front!

All good now. The ride reminds me of my WRX. PERFECT.

I think I have to agree. It just feels right. I love the ecomodder stuff! I had an Insight that got 70 mpg regularly with hypermiling!!

I LIKE the drop!

its on my to-get list at the moment...
and another question, should we get new struts and shocks too or is the stock okay with the microimage springs?

I put them on with STOCK springs and the ride is PERFECT. Reminds me a lot of my Subaru WRX ride.

I have had the same springs installed on my sedan for 3k. My front springs seem higher than the rear ones; I read that this is normal and it should settle. Have yours settled?
