Mike, I have the exact same tires on 17" motegi's on my LB. Im dropping her 1.8" later this week. I'll throw a pic up so you can see if you like the drop, the coils were cheap on microimage, they are the blue microimage branded ones.

Sharp wheels, I like the look on the sedan... Gotta talk my Father into getting some alloys for his 09 Sedan.

nice I was thinking of getting the TRD lowering spring but im not sure yet but sounds looking forward to see how you car turns out

thanks, yeah should talk to him into it get some it gives a better look

No problem man, I just have to get the magic box in the mail and I will shoot the pics up asap. Just got the summer equipment on this afternoon, so just gotta put the springs on.

quemoto · 03-15-2011, 11:41 PM

Ok Gents just got the last of the springs put on, I found myself in the ER Friday so that stalled my plans a little bit, I'm good now though. Since it is dark now I will get the juicy pics up after work tomorrow. I have to say Garms new springs are very sharp and NOT baby blue like the pics on Microimage show. So mikey this ought to give you a good idea of what a mild lower will do for you.

I was in a car accident back in January (rear end collision, not my fault) that messed up my back. Back on Friday I bent over to pickup a shovel and my whole back went out. I may have a herniated disc in my back

Mikey here are your pics with Microimages springs, I parked a stock Yaris next to mine so you can compare.

For Reference:
The Liftback has 215/40/17 tires on Motegi SP-10's Lowered 1.8"
The Sedan has 185/60/15 tires on the stock rims with stock ride height

Side Shot of the Lowered Yaris

Side to Side of Stock vs Lowered

Ground Clearance Comparison

Wheel Well Lowered

Been trying to figure a way to afford a set of those wheels for my Celica GT-S racecar project, but with needing 2 to 3 complete sets with tires, just about impossible. I've been looking at lower cost knock-offs, but just haven't found what really fits my needs. Good looking set-up, wish I could have my old girl riding on a set!!

Proxes4's are kinda known to fade on track use,when they warm up they get slippery.DD they are fine,hot place like Arizona probably bad tire choice since it is super hot on the roads already most the year so tires heat up quickly.....as for rain...I have heard they are not the best,but then again I still not really found a good rain tire for the street.

I also jsut bought proxes4s for my car,get some jerk on the lane change on freeway like it doesnt want to change track direction...may just be me not used to 50 sidewalls and staggered offsets.

Love the RPF1s....if I could of afforded them I would of gone that direction as well...theyare great wheels.
