rningonfumes · 05-02-2009, 12:03 AM

Yep, 30k and going strong...dips and bumps mean nothing to me unless they are really low or really high.

running with stock shocks and Tanabe DF210 springs... only had them for 2 months or so but I plan on keeping them stock until they either wear out or I can afford coilovers...

Same with me!

BLAZINBLUEVITZ · 05-02-2009, 11:17 AM

tein's with stock struts for 17,000 miles and 2 1/2 years.....

ruimond · 05-02-2009, 11:33 AM

Pedders springs with stock shocks for about 13,000km (8,000miles)...been on for about a year. Seems ok still i think. Bumps and everything feel ok, and do not make any strange noises while driving.

Although i've noticed for awhile now that my rear driver side sits lower then my rear passenger side. The wheel gap is about approximatly 0.5-1cm lower on the drivers rear side. I haven't had my suspension checked yet, but i have a service coming up....so will get it all checked.

^^ toyota has a TSB on shock/strut leaking for all cars and ive been trying for 6 months now to get mine replaced for free.....

ozmdd · 05-02-2009, 12:31 PM

Stock shocks here! I'll wait till they start to lose damping before I upgrade. Since I don't track or autox this car (ok, autoX once in a while), there is no good reason, other than cosmetics, to change them, even though handling will improve. On my track car (Miata), it was one of the first upgrades. Change/add the sway bars if you want an instant handling improvement for low $$.

PHXDEMON · 05-02-2009, 09:30 PM

20k on sotckers with tanabe DF210s

Riced-yaris · 05-02-2009, 09:31 PM

ok, its official. I hate the Yaris now. After trying to get the front out for an hour, only to have misinterpreted how the dust boot gets off, i got the driver side lowered. Now, the passenger wheel wont come off. I REPEAT the friggin wheel wont even come off. Tried a crow bar, a malet and hundreds of other techniques. Gonna get my mechanic to remove the wheel and wait for a week and then throw my drags on.

Onto Pix of the day:
- The car that pissed me off - only 3 lowering springs installed - Rims will be installed once the car settles at its current height

- My DD, that I will be bringing to the track tmw

- My never ending project

I have to say, I really dislike the suspension design on the Yaris. But it does look super Gangsta lowered. Cant wait till my T1R lugs arrive, so the rims can go on
