making the 3dr hatch ride on rails? - Toyota Yaris Forums

If you take off that plastic stuff (fresh air vent, windshield squirter) just under the front window , you will see the tower brace . If you look at the rear (closest to the firewall ) of the front strut tower , you will see it . Like I said , its thin and ugly , but works beautifully . Look at the 1 in Siphon mag and you will see it also . It DOESN'T connect to the top of the strut tower , but the top rear , near the firewall . It is a brace integrated into the body . NOT A BAR .

ok, there very well may be some type of a brace there but I was thinking you meant strut tower bar which there isn't, I'm thinking that combined with the cuso lower tie would really make a difference up front and I have to have a sway bar in the rear

blkyaris-I'm thinking about going with those Teins let us know what you think about them once installed, I was sure I'd go with Megan but I am hearing great things about Tein

Teins are very hard to beat . I have used them on 7 different cars . I never had a problem . I'm just waiting for some SS , or Flex , or some RA's to come out . Something I can use the EDFC with . Like the car in Siphon mag ( BASTARD :) ) The reason I didn't get the Tein Basics were b/c you can't adjust the dampening or rebound . Don't get me wrong , the Basics will work good for street and light competition .

exactly what I will use them for, driving to and from work mostly, but I don't like just the 2. inch drop I have I'd like to be about 2.5 maybe 3 in the rear

I think the Megan will be pretty stiff but they have a nice looking finish and appear to be of very good quality, I'm kinda hangin' on for some Megan feedback from vanderkitten and colint

everyone with the teins sounds very pleased
