They need to make one for the sedan, it does sell many more than the Hatch in the U.S.

yes, i have the TRD Sportivo shocks. they're great. i have them with the Tein S.Tech's. i've had a crap load of weight in the car, and it never bottomed out. actually, i had only the front struts installed at first, and my Yaris was understeering pretty bad, but when i finally got the rear shocks installed, everything balanced out. i recommend the shocks.

How much are the shocks and struts? Do they come in a pair, and can they be used with the sedan and the liftback? Also I was curious if it raised your suspension lowered it or kept it the same ride height.

Sorry for all the questions, but I was going to purchase a set and needed to find someone with them already.

i got the TRD shocks here...

http://www.toyotapartsstore.com/defa...dabd601bb96b24

when i bought it, it came out to be around $320. they come with a pair of struts for the front and a pair of shocks for the rear. they can be used for both the LB and the sedan (i think all suspensions parts are interchangeable between the LB and the sedan). i think it may have lowered it since a lot of people think i'm using coil overs and not just the Tein S.Tech springs. not really sure on that, but i am sure that it made a big difference in dampening. it's cool, i don't mind the questions, i like helping people out when ever i can.

Thanks for the info. I was curious about the ride height because I wasnt for sure if they were the same height as the stock struts and shocks. I have the NF210's and just wanted to make sure that if I added the shocks and struts it wouldnt lower it anymore then it already is.

Shocks wont lower or raise the car.

I will take some pics of the side skirts up close later. They do have a recessed spot for the Kaminari badge, you can easily fill it though! :)

i was thinking that too, but i just don't understand why people think i have coilovers...i mean shocks absorb shocks (i.e. pot holes and imperfections on the road, right)? don't really see how it will lower or raise a car...people make me second guess myself
