Which is best to lift Yaris??
Hey there everyone,
This is my first post on this great forum, so please bear with me, I have a 2008 Yaris (Gulf). I live in Yemen where roads are not very well done, broken and the bumps are huge which may cause the bottom of my yaris to scrape if I am carrying four people in my car... I've heard of lift up kits, but unfortunately they do not provide them here in Yemen, however what we have are are I think are spacers but they come in either aluminum or rubber I have attached two pictures showing them... My tire size is 185/65/15 as seen below.. My question is which would be better the aluminum or the rubber? Because I am getting biased opinions from mechanics.. On a side note someone advised me to get the rear coils of the corolla 2007 and place them on my yaris which will give it a lift up what do you guys think? Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk |

rubber would be quieter...however may eventually split and break up. Aluminum would be the way to go or just a taller rear spring. Up front just make a spacer that goes on top of the strut. Many Subaru kits are like that simple strut spacers. Anything crazy you will need to start re-engineering geometry angles

I placed the rubber ones yesterday, because I figured it was a safer choice..
They are 4mm tall and were placed above the rear coils... However I no problem with scraping the front of my car on the bumps so I just left them... Is it necessary to place spacers on the from struts if I lifted the rear?? Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk |

Maybe you could install a set of air bag in the coils to keep them from sagging down too much under load, like the Firestone Coil-Rite kit #4136 https://www.etrailer.com/Vehicle-Sus...one/F4136.html
I'm about to do this on my Yaris since I plan to drive a 5 000km trip with bikes and a lot of cargo and don't want to have the headlights shooting too high and the car sagging for 5-7 days in a row. |
