Want to lower 1" or so. hmmm - Toyota Yaris Forums

piranha0522 · 03-25-2011, 11:06 AM

Hey all,

I'm looking to lower my Yaris soon and all I have been able to find are springs that will lower the car 2" and other are 1.8" or so.
The rims I have are 17" and for this reason i'd only like to lower my car 1" or 1.5" at the most. Do springs like this exist for the Yaris? or are they all around 1.8 - 2" drops?

I'm sure a lot of people have 17" rims, i'd appreciate if memebers who have 17's with a drop could chime in on what the overall ride is like, and any rubbing and turning issues.

Thanks so much!

further, 17" rims is not enough information to comment on rubbing -- need more:

17 x ___"
offset
tires being used

See this is what I'm worried about. I'm going to throw the rims on first and measure the space I have to work with. I just don't want to limit myself by not being able to turn fully or have my tires constantly rub. Who knows, I may go the 2" route.

Thanks for all the responses guys
