Handling vs EG Civic - Toyota Yaris Forums

regal · 04-03-2009, 11:09 AM

I was all set to spend $1400 bucks for the following:

15x6.5 Maxxim Assaults
Champiro 195-55-15 summer performance tires
TRD springs
Tokio Blue Shocks
TRD Rear Sway Bar

But I backed out, having second thoughts. I miss the way the EG Civic with Koni susp handled , got to thinking that I would be pretty dissapointed if the $1400 doesn't transform the Yaris. Don't get me wrong I like the Yaris, but I might just save the $1400 and put it toward an old 1st gen Miata one day. On the other hand I like my daily driver to handle like on rails. I always go thru a period of the blues when I sell a car, maybe I should wait till the EG is a distant memory before upgrading the Yaris.

The solid rear axel really has me questioning whether there is much to be gained by investing in the Yaris. Am I all wrong here?
