Before and After - Tein S. Tech's - Toyota Yaris Forums

I always had problems with scraping the front bumper fascia when leaving parking lots on the S-Techs. MI springs lifted it up just enough to make it not scrape. This summer I'm also running 195/55R15s instead of 205/50R15s.

Thanks, I totally agree.

Yeah, it's not a big problem, but I want to find a solution for the slight rubbing.

Nice tasteful drop. Really like the properly closed fender gap. How's it ride now?

Thanks. It hits cracks in the road/lane reflectors/etc. significantly softer now, but I do get some wheel to fender rubbing when going over railroad tracks/gutter dips/uneven spots on the freeway too quickly, and in hard cornering.

That sounds about normal for your wheel/tire and suspension setup. Thought about going one wheel size smaller? That should help you get rid of the problem.

I have, actually. Rolling the fenders has also been suggested to me.
