Help confirm C-One springs/shocks install?
Hey all,
I just installed C-One springs and shocks on my 07 yaris sedan. The install went fine, I think. But I'm a bit nervous that a) the springs seem fine on the lift with the car in the air (here), but once lowered seem quite compressed (here). b) the top mount plate/screw seems slightly raised (here). Unlike the stock shocks with the allen-key, the C-One shocks (KYB's apparently) have these plastic tips in the tops of the bolts (which are maybe used to adjust the stiffness? I need to check with C-One on this). I tightened the top nut as much as possible before the shaft started spinning. Is this okay? Or is there a way I need to hold the shaft while tightening the nut (there doesn't seem to be an alley-key hole like the stock shocks)? I'm pretty confident I installed the proper pieces, but perhaps I missed something? I took the car for a quick drive and it seems to drive fine. Help?? Thanks ya'll :) Last edited by sacklunchz; 12-23-2020 at 06:52 PM. |

The top mount not making contact with the sheet metal us normal. That is exactly the way it sits with factory suspension installed. Compression is fine as well.

I agree with WeeYari that the upper strut mount washer does not contact the strut tower under load. The rubber strut mount compresses, allowing the upper part of the shaft and nut to poke up a bit. I can't say, though, that that coil looks normal. It looks too compressed. Any chance of a more perpendicular shot? Are the coil loops actually touching? They appear to be. Looking at the product page, it almost appears that the rear springs were installed on the struts.
