I have a friend that works in Toyota here in Portugal, and he said that the springs are Eibach.

So for me, there is no point in buying TRD (TTE) springs, you know why? Because in Europe everything is fuc**** expensive. They charge us 370$ (290€) for TRD springs.

Eibach springs (the same ones I guess) will cost me about 230$ (180€).

One thing it makes me confuse, is that Toyota says the TRD lowers -30mm, but Eibach says the pro-kit will lower -25mm

the reason they are diffrent numbers is cause eibach makes there own lowering spring for the yaris... they ALSO make springs spec'd to TRD's wantings... thats the reason for a different drop.. the TRD spings are sopost to work with the TRD shocks (i think there KYB's) same concept with socks... Racing Heart makes the "TRD 18in. Wheels" there just badged TRD.. AEM makes the CAI for TRD... but the TRD comes with a bypass valve.... i think eibach makes the rear sway bar as well.. making any cents?

and to clearify something... honda does NOT have mugen... its a company that makes Honda parts but you cant go into a honda dealer and ask for mugen parts... nismo on the other hand IS a nissan company like TRD. there for you can go to a nissan dealer and order nismo parts.
