found that while i was browsing around online. if i had an extra 200 bucks, i would have gotten those instead of the TRD shocks...

I cant find any info other than this store on a Dspec Yaris application. I shot the store and tokico an email so hopefully we will find out more.

Just wait for KYB to make an AGX application for the Yaris- great strut, much cheaper.

yeah, i never seen this until now. but my friend installed a set on his Mustang. says it's way too stiff, even with the softest settings. but then again, he has Eibach springs and stabilizers (front and rear). i can't find the pics i took of his car.

You know, I'm not sure. I believe that they are, mostly because they made mostly domestic apps until a few years back, when they got into the sport compact thing pretty heavily.

Regardless, I've never been unhappy with any of their products- the GR2 non-adjustable is a good strut, as well, just not as well-suited to lowered vehicles.

i bought the GR-2 when i had my GTI. but i also bought Megan lowering springs, supposedly lowering the car two inches, but in reality, didn't even lower it an inch! i would have liked the GR-2 to be a little more firm.

Damn for the cost of those struts I can have custom Air strut assemblies made....

Kaotic Lazagna · 03-25-2007, 01:33 AM

serious? i thought air ride suspensions were crazy expensive...

Black Yaris · 03-25-2007, 01:35 AM

Um no, about a grand, air ride would cost you less than coilovers and they would ride a hell of a lot better

Kaotic Lazagna · 03-25-2007, 01:41 AM

wow, never knew that. i'm assuming that some people would rather get coil overs for the performance, and an air ride set up for looks?

Yea. I helped set up the first XB on air a couple years ago. It rode well, but there was no handling gain.

I think air might end up being a few hundred more than coilovers.

The Tein coilovers ride great BTW.
