Lowering options??!! - Toyota Yaris Forums

alan1828 · 03-09-2010, 11:49 PM

Which would be ideal:

1) Lowering my car with stock wheels and rims

2) Not lowering my car and change rims+Wheels

3)Lowering and getting new set of wheels

What is the max I can fit without lowering and if I drop to 1.5 what would be the max I can fit.

I know this topic has been discussed B4, but I'm lazy

Lower it first, the rims can come later. The wheel gap is uglier than hub caps

True, but that doesn't look horrible. It looks decent ish

alan1828 · 03-10-2010, 10:13 PM

lower it! you won't regret it

Just don't slam it. It's such a shame people slam their cars. There's no performance gain from doing this.

In deciding between these two, one thing to consider is the actual drop of the springs.

TRD is an equal drop of ~1.25 inches front and rear.
NF210s do not drop equally front and rear. They spec at 1.1" front, 1.3" rear.

My preference is an equal drop all around, and therefor would not personally choose NFs. They are also quite a soft spring. I believe TRDs are a bit stiffer.
