Tigertec Springs??? - Toyota Yaris Forums

hatchbackkid82 · 10-16-2009, 10:30 AM

Does anyone have any reviews on the Tigertec Springs on MI? I was debating between these, Progress, and Tanabe NF's on MI. I was looking for something with good drop. Any one who has any of these springs please comment

I was the first to use them in the u.s (as far as i know) and I'm in MI. I'd say they are a PERFECT blend of drop and functionality. The drop is low but not so low you have to be scared driving the car. The spring firmness is also a bit on the hard side so its a bit harder of a ride then stock but it not unbearable. Id imagine your going for a bit of sportiness anyways by wanting to put lowering springs on.If your around the metro detroit area, I dont mind meeting up if you would like to see in person what it looks like

Yeah i definitely want to have that sporty look but have it handle as well, i would be putting on some tokico blue's with these as well. Can you post some pics of your car, please

Thanks, So you have the Tokico Blues, TigerTec's, and a sway bar? How does it handle?

I'd say compared to stock, it's a worlds difference. To me, it's such a big difference that it's not really fair to compare it to stock. I don't want to say that it's like a Ferrari now or something, but I will say that it won't disappoint, that's for certain :) All it needs now aside from this setup is some wider tires and I'd feel all set unless I went for coilovers one day. Here's some pics of the blues, tigertecs and ultra racing setup.

What's the drop like 1.75 right? After it's settled?

^ correct.

TigerTec + UR + Tokico = red white and blue FTW! (lol)

You should sell all 3 as a kit on your website that comes with everything. You can call it the USA special

^ THAT is a good idea. I'll add it this weekend.

Suspension package level I

I "upgraded" the tires to Dunlop Signature's. Still same factory tire size but much better quality and response.
