Thumbs up Just got my Yaris YRX Lowered on King Springs!

Hey Guys,

Well I've had my pre-loved '05 Yaris YRX for a few weeks now and am loving driving it everywhere.

But one thing I noticed was taking away from the 'feel' of really driving this car. It felt so dam high! While driving along looking at other small cars and even sedans my little Yaris felt like a Mini 4WD compared to these cars, my ride height was much higher than many cars on the road. I guess this is to give the average driver a better position to see the road and feel safer...but it's not my style. It just feels like the car is going to tip over if I take a corner...I like the feeling of being connected to the road...not sitting a ridiculous height above it!

So I got some lowering springs installed with the stock struts and all I can say is WOW. It feels like a completely different car...it feels much sportier and 'right' for the size/shape of the Yaris. I've gone from driving a Mini-Van to a Mini-Sports-Coupe!

I feel SO much safer and confident with the cars position on the road now. A highly recommended install for both safety, performance and handling. Plus the fact the stock 15' YRX wheels look a lot nicer in the wheel arches now!

Next step is some strut/sway bars to tighten the feel and it will be even better...Lovin it. No more moon buggy, bus driving, granny looking Yaris. Low is the GO!

Will post some pics if I get any interest in the thread

Cheers,
Dan
