dont you guys think that stiffer springs in the rear would make for a sketchy ride being that the liftback is so light? and most of the weight is in the front?

I have stiffer springs in the rear and yes sometimes it may cause some teetor tottering back and forth but ride comfort and quality does have to be sacrificed slightly for super lowness

You can call it easy way out but we have been ridding this low for 3+ years. And we just want the ability to air up to get in and out of places or into them for that matter.
+ showing kinda need the edge of bigger mods.
Air ride being one of them.

I don't think air is easy. Takes more work finding the right fittings and brackets (if going custom). Plus, a good amount of VIP cars use air (some being OEM), so it does win points for show.

There arent any Toyota's that I know of with factory air, so obviously a "custom" setup does get some attention. Exp on a car that they dont see modified that often anyway.

all I can say is not all of us going to every car show to show our car and compete.

for me, The Yaris as the DD, the air sus is another way to low and raise the car in a matter of second. Im really happy with the Tanabe pro sustec im using right now, for the ride quality is close or maybe up to par to my KW3 sus I had on my other car in the past....only thing is that tanabe is not low as I want it to be without removing the help collar adjuster.

cost wise , $2k+ plus labor for a good brand such as KW, Silk Road, or maybe bilstein for the coilover , but for the air sus , it'll be at least $3K installed .... I know for a fact since I've been asking around and almost had a sponsorship from one of the air sus vendor.

I never had an aftermarket airsus before, but both of my other cars has them came from the factory ....ride is super smooth, but a little " boat effect" like ...as a matter of fact, I'll be replacing them with KW coils next summer on one of them.

happy modding ! that's all the matter :P

ps: Phil when are you going to get those XXR535 ? lol

Thank you sir. That is known as stretched tires.

Dialed in my fronts a little more as you can see there was still about a pubic hairs worth of gap on the passenger side. Also installed billet 3mm spacers bringing my effective setup to 16x8 +12.

Tan, you're such a baller lol

Thanks Tan ^
