df210 springs question about center of gravity - Toyota Yaris Forums

I have the DF210 springs and want to install them this weekend however my Question is with the stock shocks and struts how will the center of gravity be affected and will it make the car handel worse around corners with the stock shocks and struts.

With a lower center of gravity and OEM stock shocks and struts you are going to love the way a Yaris goes around corners!!! Enjoy! (your ride it's not going to be as soft, rather more sportier aka stiff).

yes it would seem that the lower the car is the better it would handel. however I seem to think that if one were to lower the center of gravity it would make the car more top heavy around corners. I am still putting them on this weekend tho, and I do have the ultra racing rear sway bar and megan lower tie bars in front so I should be ok. My Falkens help a lot also

Lowering the centre of gravity (roll center to be more exact) will by this statement make the car LESS top heavy. IDU the concern???

yes thank you silky I installed them yesterday and I love the way the car looks and drives. I really need to invest in some upgraded shocks and struts tho, money permitting.
