I like it. In checking the link they indicate their packages as "R". So which "R" did you go with? I mean I found the "Standard" but don't know which in that category you selected.

I got the R1
I'll reserve judgement until I can ride in another coilover equipped Yaris. the build quality is good and I like that the front is as adjustable as it is. |

Thanks for the response. I notice the stabilizer links are adjustable, did they come with the package? Also, at what numbered setting were you on in those pics and have you since adjusted further?

yes the adjustable links came with the kit.
I haven't adjusted the height since the pics. (but I'm going to lower the rear about another .5 inch) I forget what the numbered height indicator I was at on the front (it isn't an expression of how much drop you will have, its just a number on the shock body so that you can track what levels you've had it at / match both sides etc...) , but I can tell you that the front shock body can thread all the way THROUGH the front lower mount. If you did that, it wouldn't roll (the frame would literally be touching the ground / also you'd have to take the fender liners out) Will |

Thanks much. Just curious if you retain the stock springs in the rear or what that setup looks like.

Hey will,
Your car looks great (but its slow :P jk) Stdsuspension approached me to sponsor my car with a set but I turned it down at the time... Wondering how the ride quality is and how well I preforms on the track.

As for the coilovers, pretty decent build quality - very adjustable - ride is on the stiff side (not at all what they claimed or what that other guy with the black 4dr that has the same coilovers claimed they would be) (I'm not surprised that he was so flattering, because afterall he is a shop owner who might have been trying to sell some kits as a result of posting his car on YarisWorld) If the shocks could keep up with track days I'd say the spring rate / shock setup combination would work well. They would easily live up to a season of autocrossing, but I'm not sure about a season of trackdays Regular street driving with zero winters (like my car) and the coilovers would probably outlast the car W |
