HS Spring Lift and Lowering Kit
Has anyone heard about this? It look like a quick way to lower/lift your car.
It's only $8 so I'm considering it. Any thoughts? uploadfromtaptalk1411163487715.jpguploadfromtaptalk1411163494382.jpguploadfromtaptalk1411163502887.jpg I love the back of my car, the front... not so much |

This not new, it's as old as dinosaur poop.
Yes, it works but it may have a negative effect on ride but it's easily reversed. Place a few boards under the tire to get the springs together and follow the directions. Norton |

Your basically changing the preload of the spring. So it will ride like poop.

There is a reason it costs what it costs, and people buy springs and/or coilovers instead.
That is simply not the way to lower your car.

But at $8 I would get them just to jack the yaris up. I'd like to see what the car looks like lifted. That's would be awesome.

HS Spring Lift and Lowering Kit
I don't think I would necessarily want to use them for purposes of lifting/lowering. What they are good for however is temporarily using them as coil spacers to minimize spring compression if you are carrying a lot of weight in the rear. For that function I personally prefer high density rubber coil spacers.

^ Or shock bump stops -- I sell both. At least there is some give.
With those metal things, the ride... hello Mr. Chiropractor.
