Once Again, Tein - Toyota Yaris Forums

Kaotic Lazagna · 03-07-2007, 03:05 PM

okay, once more i'm asking about the Tein S.Tech springs. does anyone here have a set installed on their Yaris, specifically the sedan. i think i will be ordering a set from one of out vendors here very soon. i want to know your opinions on the S.Tech's. originally, i wanted to go with the Tanabe DF's, but some of you said that the rear is a little too soft, causing some rubbing when going over bumps.

also, who makes struts/shocks for the sedan?

TRD

since the springs for the liftback are the same for the sedan, i'm assuming the struts/shocks are too. so the TRD struts will fit?

Way too much $$$$$ Might as well buy the Tein Basic Coilovers. Someone had the Cusco's in the classified for 900. Help a fellow Yaris owner out and buy them off him. I wanted the S Techs for the spring rates. I never thought about rubbing, but thats a good point.

How is it too expensive? You can get the struts for $315 and springs for $140. Thats about half of the used coilovers you are refering to.

just curious, where can i get Tein's for $140? (if you were referring to Tein's). but i've also heard that the TRD struts don't work well with other springs? it was in a thread topic here????

I haven't seen the Teins that cheap. Every other spring is under $150 besides TRD.

The TRD struts will work fine with any lowering spring. I'm going to run them on my Springtech springs as soon as I pick them up next week.

Not sure where that price comes from but the lowest I have seen is like 750$ for both.

TRDsparks.com. They are a vendor on here. $318 for the struts, $180 for the springs. You can find them a bit cheaper if you shop around.

i would get a set of coilovers, but i'm not looking for that much of a drop. and that's still beyond what i'm willing to spend.

Kaotic Lazagna · 03-08-2007, 07:18 PM

$318 isn't bad for the TRD struts comparing to what's around in eBay.

I bought my TRD absorbers on eBay for $265 shipped. Super cheap. They work great although I still wish they were a tad more stiff.

I only bought absorbers for $265. Sparks has them for $319.

These guys have 'em for $296.

If you want the springs and absorbers, just buy them from TRD Sparks.
