Too low to go - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

maybe yours is lowered because the yaris comes lifted from the factory...

but seriously, someone wanted stiffer springs with factory height. there was a discussion about spacers. NAPA sells them through balkamp. find someone motivated they can get them. or anyone else can. no need to lift the front, or the rear for that matter, but the rear would be easier.

i pull a trailer. camping, bicycle trips, and motorcycle moving

no need to lift, but to each their own.

i also saw some yaris's crossing some large puddles/mud holes on youtube, bone stock
if you're serious, do that for us. and take lots of video. make it entertaining...

I will keep posted.
Let me at least make the first payment before I alter it too much

Trailer hitch arrives this afternoon and then I will look for spring inserts this weekend.
All I have to remember is Righty titey... Lefty loosy....
And thank you SodiumDuck for the install hints.
I will hit dealer soon for replacement plug inserts...( Just in case)

I like your fearlessness. As for everone flaming this idea... Let him build his yaris, I'll do mine, and you do yours. Don't even bother wasting reading space with that buy something else bull. Push the envelope!

Having recently done some creative suspension rework on my eBay crashed Yaris, I noticed that in the front you could add about 4" without too much trouble, by using longer struts and springs. The inner tripod joints wouldn't be super happy, but you can pick up complete axles on eBay for under $80, so you could consider them to be 20,000 mile consumables.

I have been watching Crashy. I wish those tires were street legal...
I had an AMC Pacer that I turned into a Dune Buggy years ago...
Cut the back of the roof off so I look like an AMC Amigo...
