They need to make one for the sedan, it does sell many more than the Hatch in the U.S.

I paint ;) It's going to cost me under $100 to do the job. Not a biggie if it gets messed up.

yes, i have the TRD Sportivo shocks. they're great. i have them with the Tein S.Tech's. i've had a crap load of weight in the car, and it never bottomed out. actually, i had only the front struts installed at first, and my Yaris was understeering pretty bad, but when i finally got the rear shocks installed, everything balanced out. i recommend the shocks.

really nice, I'm jealous!
Mine should come soon, I hope...

slvryaris · 07-10-2007, 02:20 AM

WOW 100 times better...

slvryaris · 07-10-2007, 02:22 AM

How much are the shocks and struts? Do they come in a pair, and can they be used with the sedan and the liftback? Also I was curious if it raised your suspension lowered it or kept it the same ride height.

Sorry for all the questions, but I was going to purchase a set and needed to find someone with them already.

i got the TRD shocks here...

when i bought it, it came out to be around $320. they come with a pair of struts for the front and a pair of shocks for the rear. they can be used for both the LB and the sedan (i think all suspensions parts are interchangeable between the LB and the sedan). i think it may have lowered it since a lot of people think i'm using coil overs and not just the Tein S.Tech springs. not really sure on that, but i am sure that it made a big difference in dampening. it's cool, i don't mind the questions, i like helping people out when ever i can.

slvryaris · 07-10-2007, 04:09 AM

Thanks for the info. I was curious about the ride height because I wasnt for sure if they were the same height as the stock struts and shocks. I have the NF210's and just wanted to make sure that if I added the shocks and struts it wouldnt lower it anymore then it already is.

Turbo&Auto · 07-10-2007, 06:47 AM

Shocks wont lower or raise the car.

I will take some pics of the side skirts up close later. They do have a recessed spot for the Kaminari badge, you can easily fill it though! :)

hasher22 · 07-10-2007, 07:11 AM

yea i like the side skirts...so sexy....too bad for 5 door owners!! or they do have a 5door version side skirts?

ism3t · 07-10-2007, 07:43 AM

well done!

Slummy · 07-10-2007, 09:52 AM

i know it hasn't been painted, but, the 2-tone contrast looks good w/your wheels. nice job!

9vapors · 07-10-2007, 10:09 AM

Looks really good, looking forward to seeing it painted.

i was thinking that too, but i just don't understand why people think i have coilovers...i mean shocks absorb shocks

(i.e. pot holes and imperfections on the road, right)? don't really see how it will lower or raise a car...people make me second guess myself

kurokoma-kun · 07-10-2007, 03:54 PM

NICE, NICE! I want one

graywolf_14 · 07-10-2007, 05:46 PM
