yarr is - one set in stock, only two came into the USA so far.

Moses, PM replied, you were asking about springs only.

1.5 -- compared to other coilovers, they are a good price for what they are.

I would go for tanabe... I might want to stay away from megans. From personal experience and other reviews. They ARE cheap and decent coilovers. But there's a reason.

you wouldn't. It's more like a $60 difference.

im looking only for street use. I will not be tracking it. I just want to lower my car but I dont want to go for springs on stock struts and I want the adjustability of coilovers.

yea i saw megans are 860 shipped but i didnt see the tanabes on there. damn thanks garm save me a set lol uve convinced me to get the tanabes. Only thing is what spring rate would be good for street use. I dont want too too hard but i dont wana drive a boat either. I do mainly city driving without some highway driving (about 70%-30%).

Check it out.. saw these pics.


If I have a choice I would seriously go tanabe. I had megans on my other car. And it was not a pleasant ride. Plus the noise starts coming in. Due to the upper mount which was cheaply made =/

I wonder how much stack height the helper spring adds? I bet you can remove it and gain another 1.5" or so.

I would get them just like they come, no custom spring rates. You can adjust the ride to suit your style.

Garm,
As a vendor...are you able to get a set of installation instructions for these? The Tein installation instructions are very good and available online. Are they available for these (I assume that they would be VERY similiar).

Interesting that they seem to have traditional rear springs, but still have the height adjuster. Wonder how that works together? Looks like a damn nice kit.

that's how my coilovers look too. separate springs and shocks in the rear. So really, the Yaris only gets "coilovers" in the front.
