1 week old / first round of mods (coilovers and wheels) - Toyota Yaris Forums

This is my Second "Vitz" , I bought it last week

(I had the last gen from August 2004 till April 2008)

Couldn't pass up the deal on remaining 2010's

I got $2000 off AND 0% financing AND more for my trade than what I owed.

First round of mods were coilovers and wheels and tires, many more mods to come.

I put the STD "Standard" coilovers (http://www.stdsuspension.com/
) on it after going back and forth between several brands. I like these for many reasons:

-the shock body is numerically indexed so there is no guesswork in getting the levels matched (assuming that you do or don't want to corner match)
-the shock body is threaded, so that the entire shock body can move within the perch (meaning that in the front, full travel is maintained, because you don't touch the spring perch at all (unless you want/need to)

I also installed 16x7 40mm offset Konig Heliums with 195/50/16 Falken Ziex 912's

The Falken's seemed like a highly rated tire in the size / I've had Heliums before and you can't go wrong for the weight/strength to $$ ratio.

bolt-ons / more suspension / audio & security etc.. to follow in coming months.

I'll take some better pics once it stops raining in Ottawa.

comments / flames, or anything else appreciated.

Cheers

Will
