Looks great — I love the "Prancing Chicken!"
I think red is probably the color I'd get if we decide to purchase a Yaris.

I paid $800 for the suspension and I couldn't be happier. First of all, it is under warranty for 70k miles. Good luck finding that deal anywhere else. As far as how it rides, the Yaris has such a tight turning radius that you will have no problem pushing this car to its absolute limit in a turn. In fact, the first few times you try to get on it you'll probably end up surprising yourself. I can remember turning too hard and having to overcompensate, and in turn "drifting" in this thing when I first got it! There is little to no body roll... I would agree with the statement about the tire sidewalls being the culprit of the small amount you do get. The trick is to keep the revs up high in VVT-i territory... when you come to a turn you can easily accellerate throughout and get a nice 10-15 mph boost coming out of the apex. Make no mistake about it... the ride is extremely stiff and the car is lowered significantly. It doesn't feel like a different car... it IS a different car. I regularly bottom out hitting potholes and such. Just another excuse for a body kit later.
For those of you considering, think about this... I'm 21 and I can't afford to spit 800 bucks up for a suspension all at once... however, I can afford the extra few bucks a month I had to pay on my car payment. Just get it with the car off the lot and in essence you're financing a suspension. Pretty sweet deal for young tuner-crazed kids trying to pay off a car and college all at once. |
