$349 incl. installation, alignment, etc? That seems lower than someone posted earlier. Can you post details of that quote, please?

Hmmmmmm Ebay sells Tanabe DF's for $130USD and Shipping is $80USD + installation here would be around 80-100AUD right?
so 130USD + 80USD + 100AUD = $369AUD to lower the yaris in aust In in comparison $349 for the springs alone OR $349 + Installation, we are getting a better deal of ebay. Only about $20 - $30AUD difference? Thats if you want tanabe springs.... Conclusion - Lowering is a bitch!

i hate australias pricing...
heres the email from pedders G'day Brian Thank you for your e-mail regarding your Toyota Yaris to have our Pedders Sports Ryder lowered coils you would be looking at about the $640.00 mark fitted and W/Aligned. The coils will lower your vehicle 30-35mm and the spring rate is slightly heavier than the O.E. coils . This can be done at any of our branches found at our web site at www.pedders.com.au Or in the White pages under Pedders Suspension. Regards John

I have installed springs myself before and it really is a small job not worth anywhere near the money they want to charge you guys.
Stop shopping around for big name suspension rippof merchants and lookup your local low cost mechanic or ask around your friends for a mechanic who will charge by the hour. I have a mate in Annandale who would do it for $40 /hr if I wanted. It would take him about an hour or an hour and a half if he stopped for a couple of beers half way through so yeah... |

Hi all,
I noticed you guys talkin bout springs n stuff. Yeah, Pedders is quite pricey. But I must say, it's the best 580 bucks I've spent so far. I actually like the handling of the car more than anything else. Ride is still supple, yet handling is improved. Also, when fully loaded with three passengers and equipment in the boot...ie. camping gear... the rear doesn't bottom out at all....not matter how big the bumps.... I thought Pedders made the rear a bit high, but now I know why. When fully load the car doesn't have the squat now I'm shitting look which I'm really happy about. If I had to buy again, I would still buy the pedders.... kinda of wander how the Tanabe's are though... Thanks all |
