So... a bit of an update...

As I shuffled around the idea of selling my yaris, I realized that I own this yaris, i've put my time and money into it so why not keep it. I had parked it for the winter and bought a cheapie winter beater (mk2 jetta) and after many problems with the jetta I felt more compelled to bring my yaris back out on the road. I went to my uncle in-law's house (where yaris was parked) and brought her home. It felt so good to be behind the wheel of my little silver egg again.
After lot's of time and thinking and shuffling around so many ideas for which wheels to get and which suspension to get I decided to go a bit bigger than I did last year. I was disappointed with the appearance of my car last year so I decided this year I wanted to make it look better...

The verdict: 17" Rotiform BLQ's and AirRunner suspension.

I'm so happy I decided to get 17's as last year the 15's were just too small for me and I've always loved the idea of air suspension so I saved up a bunch of money and bought Air Runner air suspension.

I dropped my car off at Zero Limit Auto this Saturday to get the suspension installed. The service there is incredible and it's such a comfortable shop to be in. My car should be out of the shop today or tomorrow, which is super exciting!


Here's a little snap of my wheels, taken last week!


The tank and compressor waiting to get bolted on...


Front!


Rear!


Little egg hanging out


Decided the gauges are going to be mounted inside the cubby behind the wheel. Easily accessible but hidden!



Will be posting more updated photos when the car is put together!

I'm curious, on your air runner front strut what serial number is stamped on there? I'm sure the number must be a low number since there aren't many.

Hahah they're +30. I had 15x8 +25 last year and I didn't like the fitment. Poked out too much so I went for a higher offset :)

Here's a few photos from last night! I have to roll my fenders for my car to air out all the way. I'm only running 20 psi in these photos because the fender is sitting on the tire.
Will be rolling them this weekend, so HOPEFULLY I am able to air out all the way ;)

Hahaha, air hater! Just kidding. I just hope after I roll my fenders a bit I can drop down more. It's stressing me out sitting on the tire.

lol i will mess with you til the end of time lol. But it still came out looking sick and I can appreciate the work involved. Yes I would roll/pull em too so you can lay frame and even ride a little lower.
