When you go low what do you hit? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Progress springs on stock wheels. 1.7"-front and 1.8"-rear drop. Underside of my front bumper is pretty scraped-up and I'm missing the center bolt as a result.

About a month after that I caved in the subframe and A arm on a pipe sticking up in the road. All had to be replaced.

Just wondering what is the lowest hanging fruit on a yaris and what do you guys whack up the most?

Thanks

You're safe with the Yaris. I feel your pain, I have a slammed Miata with a cast aluminum oil pan - and it's toast as of right now.

Where in Ohio are you from? I'm in the Dover area.

I live in Warren, close to Youngstown.

I've been alright since lifting the motor up, not even a scratch on the pan. They sell blocks for $100, but I made my own for about $20.
