TRD Springs - Toyota Yaris Forums

Ran Kizama · 07-28-2006, 12:37 PM

Springs came in today from trdsparks.com. First off; the Springs look great in their white finish, although I expect them to get dirty pretty quick.

They feel a little soft at first with me pushing down on them, but I also need to wait for them to settle after installation. What I did notice, is that the top of the information sheet reads that it's for the VITZ, not Yaris. I thought that was kinda cool. I even got a cool little TRD Sportivo badge with them. Springs and 5 HP!! Sweet!!

Springs and in and the car is looking good! I'll post pics within the next week once I'm sure they're fully installed. Thanks to Chris07LB for the install write-up!

I'm doing the install and such tonight so hopefully this thread will be updated soon after. Chris07LB is also doing a write-up on his Tanabe installation. Hopefully we can mix and match our steps to find the best and easiest ways to do it.

My Tanabe springs install was easy, I watched C2AUTOSPL do it for me.

Getting the fronts off for the liftback is a little tricky, not much space to get the wrenches in there in the engine compartment. Other than that, the rest was pretty straight forward, no problems.

Cool. My write-up got postponed due to a bone-revealing injury. Details in your thread.

*Chris07LB* · 07-29-2006, 02:15 PM

What was your drop differences?

I went from 15" all around, to 13" all around BEFORE settling. (using the measurement system in my how-to)

I haven't measure, but the car has come down a good 1.5-2" in the front, and about 1.5" in the back. I expect them to settle in the next week or so.
