My 2011 Vitz - Page 20 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Would anyone happen to know if I can use 65mm ID coil springs on my fronts if my Megan coils use 62mm ID coil springs? I know the rear doesn't matter as much since it should work as long as it fits on the perch/locking rings (If I end up using the locking rings), but I know in the front it'll go over the strut and locking rings.

EDIT: Nevermind, just going to suck it up and save for Swift springs. I WAS looking for a cheaper alternative, but hey, there's a reason why they're so expensive. Plus, I know the Swift springs work really well with Megan coilovers (via the internet) haha.

Okay, does anyone happen to know where I could just buy projector headlights with the single projector? I'm not a fan of the dual angel eye ones we see all the time, I really want to find some like this.

I know I can retrofit a projector, but I'm curious if I can just buy a smoked set.. Heh :D

I have yet to see an aftermarket single projector headlight for the Yaris.
Looks like you're pretty good at DIY. So you might want to give it a shot!
Do you have a spare set of headlights to play around with?
Sevenism from HIDPlanet did a nice write up on his customer's Yaris retrofit.
Hope this might help if you decide on a DIY.

EDIT: I forgot about PETERPOOP's write up that was informative as well.

Ahh man, I was on Instagram talking to some guys from Indonesia, I guess they got theirs from a supplier called Bixenon, but I'm pretty sure you can't buy the headlights like that.. But thanks man, I try! If I get a spare set of headlights I might try it out. I read PETERPOOP's write up, and I just feel like I would get so lost without someone there to help hahah.

TerenceCruz · 01-30-2015, 04:33 PM

Oh yeah guys, some other small updates. Kind of. Lol

Added a 10mm hub spacer, and washers on the rear lower hub bolts to get negative camber. So far so good.

Also added my bumper quick release

Thanks man! Yes it is. Watched a quick 2 minute video on youtube to get the right size drill bit. Only hard part was figuring out how far to space the two out to get the band tight enough.

TerenceCruz · 02-01-2015, 08:38 PM

Moar pics for sh*ts and giggles :D Sorry for the picture wh0ring lol.

WorkTL · 02-14-2015, 03:07 PM

yarisugi · 02-15-2015, 03:10 AM

Thanks a lot man! And yes as Sugi said, 3 washers each on the two lower hub bolts. I added an extra washer on the left front side hub bolt in an attempt to fix toe in.

Thanks for that Sugi!

Also, Valentine's Day gift from my girlfriend. Sorry I can't resize on my phone, I'll do it later lol. Big picture printed of my car, along with a mini version haha. Too bad they don't come in 2 doors, but I love it regardless! She's the best.

Thanks Sugi! She took it, just edited it slightly, then printed it out at Kinkos.

Much appreciated man, thank you!

Hey guys, haven't updated this in a while. No real updates, just been driving the car and enjoying it. Still saving for my 10k/8k Swift springs, just had to take care of some more important stuff first. Anyways, here are some pictures :) I still have to install my second pair of camber bolts in the front, and drop the front a little bit more too when I get the Swift springs. Thanks for looking!

WorkTL · 03-17-2015, 06:25 AM

I love it
