^ Thanks, packet --

Jack Yak, I don't know the brand. The main thing is they don't publish spring rates; I don't think anyone here would have them (USA), but I could be wrong. Maybe someone will post up. I prefer the name brands that we carry.

"USA brand" -- they say that but not which brand. LOL

i have used Maxspeed in the past. I bought them at the junkyard, as I wouldn't have bought those new. Got them way cheap.

They were a coilover sleeve and spring set up that I used for my CRX. Daily driver CRX. Would I suggest those? Not really. The spring rate was crazy stiff. I'm guessing it was a generic application or something.

If the price is in your ballpark, and there isn't anything else (surely there is), then maybe I would say go for it.

Oh, and as far as "crazy stiff" spring rates, you can bet that i'm not a pansy and like soft rides. One of my cars runs on 700 lb rates, and the other is at 400/450lb rates.

there are a few spring sets on yarisworld pretty cheap right now from users that either upgraded or are moving on.

you may want to check there first. I think 1.5 has a set for sale for like $60 or something. not sure where you are located but it may be worth looking into.

Yes I have a set of Ksport springs for sale with about 7500 miles on them. No issues whatsoever, I upgraded to coilovers.
