I lowered my Yaris today! I installed the Micro Image springs and the beautification rings as well.

All I can say is that without Yaris World I would have spent $300-400 to get someone else to installed. The only tool that I had to purchase was the spring compressor and it was only $30, beats paying $300-400! Thanks Chris07LB for that excellent guide for spring replacement. Yes, wear gloves or else!!

Tire trims went on easy and the center "cap" are made from a muffin tray. Yes, muffin tray. Yep.





All in all, I think it looks pretty good.

I just cut the cups off the tray. I used a Dremel, but I guess a hack saw would work just as well. To install I used some 3M exterior mounting double sided tape.

Yeah she is, you would be amazed she can read 200 pages of a big book in like 5 hours its crazy.

Also everyone Ive added some more things to the car but I am limited to what I can post here due to being on my dads computer.

Though if you wanna be friends with a Yaris enthusiast I also have facebook and post pictures of my KMS and every addon atleast every two weeks.

Thanks for your time and support everyone!

Here is a sample

I like them ALOT more than the hatchbacks, there was a 4 door here for sale aswell decided to get a sedan I ended up getting it fresh with 12 kms alot more funner to work with than a hatch.

My dad also has an echo 2005 sedan figured Id follow in his footsteps.

^ I see tons of stock sedans where I live, and very very few liftbacks. Every time I see one I am thinking of how it could be made to look sweet. Of course none of them around here are. :)

Here there are probably an equal amount, I seen one or two fixed up liftbacksk, but as far as I know I am the only one with a decent atleast looking sedan, though my town has like what 80,000 people in it and I believe thats including the small surrounding towns lol
