Drop springs? Ah I don't know, definately less then 50$ I would say. Gotta ask thomas, he just got some. Not sure where he got them from.

If you want to be serious and not a noob like thomas, get coilovers from the get go. :) Microimage sells cusco coilovers, just gotta ask them. it's not listed on their website. They are like in-n-out, they got a secret menu.

Coilovers huh? I was eyeing out the NFs. I can't drop my car too much or I won't be able to park in my garadge. And I want a soft spring rate closest to stock feel.
Oh I forgot to mention I'm poor. Haha

Well all those factors = GAY.

Get the DFs, not the NFs. Thomas got the DFs. Better drop, worth the money. NFs is like you barely dropped it.

I normally don't drop my cars. But I think the first mod I plan to do is wheels and we all know wheels with no drop is like a fat lady with no pants. Just WRONG.
But looking at cars with the NF don't look that bad.
But when I get my yaris I'll see how much I can drop and still get in my garadge.

Only a few peeps on YW have gold wheels on white. I can only think of one right now. Definately no one in hawaii. I personally like the look of gold on white (sti).

I think it would look MEAN if you got the rota gt3 in gold. However, would not look good if you had a mild drop. Would actually look kind of cheesy and "ricer." If that makes any sense..

Anyways, go for it! Atleast you are getting aftermarket wheels.

should give you kind of an idea how it'd be...

Yeah I'm pretty handy with photoshop so I shopped them on a white yaris.

Ok right now I'm on my iPhone. But when I get home I'll post it and other wheel options I played with.

Yeah I'm Taka. Pronounced same as the japnese guy on 104.7 but not the same guy. Haha
Haku is another close friend of Yoshi/thomes as well.

Ok well I used one of the members on here and did simple shopping.
Only problem is he is dropped on 1.8F/1.6R
So I will later photoshop so it looks like only a 1.1F/1.3R like the NFs
And the pics now is pretty much the same drop as DFs.

first choice Rota GT3 gold


Runner up but still not sure if it really looks good or im just tired.
Rota J-mag Gold

ouch. must be hard leadin the pack.

hmm.. i'm still trying to figure out what rims to get. i'm trying to focus more on getting the car first. haha. but yeah, i've heard stories when it comes to black cars... it's a lot smaller than my current car though so hopefully i won't be so lazy when it comes to detailing. haha.

oh wow, you have a good excuse at least. i just couldn't go back to sleep lol
