Today, I saw an orange 07-08 Toyota Yaris in Northridge, CA, on the corner of Nordhoff and Reseda. Dropped with C1 JDM Body Kit, black wheels and a crazy lookin carbon fiber hood with a tint of orange on it. It looked pretty hot...

thanks silverback i was looking into the dfs but my stepdad has 17s and some trds and it sits a tad bit high in the back but i was thinking since i got 18s it would make it look nice and clean with the trds plus it would get rid of the really awkward height my car is at right now also since ur in el monte

do you know of any shops around that would install for less than 300 cause thats the lowest i could find i kinda feel its a bit ridiculous of a price for an install

$300 just for a spring-job? What, they're gonna cook you dinner too? lol

I paid $120 to have my Progress springs installed by my tire guy in town. PM'd you the address.

You recommended TRD but bought Progress? Progress is a way better choice and saves money.

^True, but I've seen his car in person. His sits high and already looks like it has almost a little bit of wheel tuck while cornering because it's on 18's on 215 tires. Progress is so low that it would make him rub like crazy. Rubbing would be less frequent on TRD's, but only because it's a softer spring.

Yeah Kevin is really nice guy. He hooks me up and even lets me bag on him lol. And I knew I sent you to the right place because they're experts when it comes to XXR wheels (you probably saw the rack of colorful 513's in the showroom). Glad they took care of you . Post new pics!
