Pictures of my SilkRoad coilovers... - Toyota Yaris Forums

He got them from Micro Image. They are 7k front, 5k rear -- stiff but surprisingly comfortable.

yes, coilover front, spring+shock rear. These have adjustable shock height so you can match your rear shocks to the overall height you set. They also come with adjustable tie rod ends.

Are they on the website? I don't see them. Price?

Here's two crappy pictures of them installed:

I'll take some halfway decent pictures tomorrow.

So far I love them. Rear really isn't as low as it looks, it's not lowered at all IMO, but the dude that installed them for me said he couldn't go any lower or else the springs wouldn't be locked in the perches?

Anyways, thanks Garm!

You should be able to adjust the rear shock length on the silkroad shorter so that you can go lower in the rear. Springs will fall out of the perches when you get the rear wheels off the ground if you lower the spring collars too low because it doesn't "lock" into place. So if you go lower in the rear, shorten the shock length as well to reduce downward travel of the rear torsion beam.

Thanks for the help. Yeah, I'm thinking the guy I had install them had no idea about the shocks because it looks like their height wasn't touched at all.

So now it's a lot better in the rear:

Nah, it's in Roseville. Both are way over developed and undersold though!

Lower?! I need to get used to driving my car THIS low first, otherwise I'll be buying a new bumper sooner than I want to.

I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
