tanabe nf210 vs. TRD lowering springs?? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Alpha300 · 08-22-2011, 10:56 AM

When installing TRD springs in the front, does one need to cut the plastic spacers? Can someone explain what this is for? If I were to have the TRD springs installed at the dealer, would they cut the spacers too? It just seems a little bit of a hack job!

Yes it's a must, you will be lower and don't want to hit the bump stop. Cut it in half at least.

Wasn't it you that asked about this on another thread? You don't cut anything for the install of TRD springs front or rear according to the directions I got with them when purchased from Sparks. I still have the directions.

Yes, I did ask the question in another thread. And the it was a unanimous NO to cutting the bump stop.

Thank you for the good advice. I've purchased the springs but have not received them yet. That's why I haven't consulted the supplied instructions yet. But its nice to know what to do in advance!
