Spring on RS vs Non-RS - Toyota Yaris Forums

tacsnier · 06-15-2007, 12:43 PM

Is the RS version of the Yaris lower than the non-RS? I just got my car yesterday and the springs today, but whenever I look at my RS Yaris, it looks lower than the non-RS ones... is it just me or is this true? If its true, should I still install my NF210?

What size wheels/tires did you get....maybe fuller wheel well???

The RS had side skirts, which could be reason for the lowered clearance.

Hope not, otherwise, I'd have gotten the RS instead of my LE.

Also, it sounds liek you've had the RS for a while, the springs could have settled somewhat compared to a brand-new car...

In Canada, doesn't the RS model come with larger rims? 15" alloys on the RS and 14" steelies on the rest? And we get a sideskirt, so that would make the car look like it's lower overall?

I'm not positive however... just got my yaris the other day as well :)

Yes the RS comes with 15" ally wheels... didn't know the nonRS comes with 14".... maybe its just "looks" I guess I will still get it lower with the NF210 springs
