Finally Got My Check! - Toyota Yaris Forums

Kaotic Lazagna · 03-14-2007, 06:04 PM

ok, so i got my check from Autohaus, still having problems with them, but F them. i don't want to deal with them anymore. but yeah, so i am thinking about getting the Tein S.Tech springs and the Tanabe Sustec strut bar. i don't want to get the Tanabe springs because a lot of you say that it's too soft, but what do you guys think?

Looks like some have really given the Tanabe springs a bad rep this week...

yrsdrgn · 03-14-2007, 06:24 PM

COILOVERS!!!!!!!

and yes, sitting in a tein setup yarii and then a tanabe and then a cusco coiled yarii (not to mention owning a coiled yarii) the tanabe is better than tein but cusco is best overall. My opionion only.

i don't want to use the entire check on coil overs. i'm planning on leaving some of it for monthly payments, and tint.

why do you say that Tanabe is better than Tein? i use my car for carpool, so i want the stiffer rear springs of the S.Tech. but now you got me wondering...

i wouldn't really call it a bad rep, since most of us are using OEM shocks, right? but that's the thing, i don't want to buy the TRD shocks (the only one available that i know of) since i want to use some of the check on tint ($280) because it's getting friggin' HOT here!

*Chris07LB* · 03-14-2007, 06:38 PM

I hear ya.. if i had to do it over, id also go coilovers.. on a beater... yes.

Kaotic Lazagna · 03-14-2007, 06:43 PM

i would get coil overs, but the price for a set really pushes me away.

yrsdrgn · 03-14-2007, 06:47 PM

Save up for coils while you gather up more dough. Since you do carpool it's wayy better to get the coils. Teins are basically "entry" level springs where as the Tanabe's can actually take more of a beating (ie. your carpool business) O and just a little FYI tein's tend to give way faster when being stressed upon a lot more than often (ie. carpool). My friend use to carpool using his civic that had tein springs and they gave out pretty fast. He slapped tanabes on and they haven't given out yet.

Kaotic Lazagna · 03-14-2007, 06:52 PM

what about the rear springs on the DF's being too soft? and what's the cheapest (name brand) coil overs available?

Kaotic Lazagna · 03-14-2007, 06:52 PM

also, what your friend using the S.Techs?

yrsdrgn · 03-14-2007, 06:57 PM

He used the s.techs on his civic that was packed with 5 people every day for about a year or so and it wore down fast. Cheapest coils are the one's i'm running. Cusco Compact-S coilovers ($1,100 if you please). Please don't think I'm trying to sell the brand cusco but for certain I am trying to promote the usage of coilovers rather than springs.

Who says they are "too soft?"

yrsdrgn · 03-14-2007, 06:59 PM

the DF's are pretty sweet haha but i think the NF is stiffer a bit. IMO only!!!

*Chris07LB* · 03-14-2007, 06:59 PM

really, i thought that Tein was a reputable company.
