I'll do the necessaries to get back to street legal and the authorities off me. The police around where I live simply want you to be sensible about your ride, in the streets. Give them no reason to pull you over, and they'll pull you over anyway, just for a quick check on your record and to compliment your car. With this in mind, you'll understand where I came up with the abovementioned numbers.

Still need to adjust headlights and get an alignment

The Numbers
====================================

The values below represent the lengths in the height adjustment systems that decide how high/low you want it. The lower the number, the more lowering.

Excerpt from Tein manual:
----------------------------------------
Reference Value (Yaris 07-11 3dr/4dr) for USA
Front 0.8 inch (20 mm)
Rear H.A.S. 1.8 inch (46 mm)

Reference Value (Yaris 07-11) for UK
Front 1.0 inch (25 mm)
Rear H.A.S. 1.8 inch (46 mm)

----------------------------------------
(don't know what's so different about UK from the US models, but notice my numbers below are just a bit offset higher than the UK values)

Remember when I said we were under time constraints? Well, I decided that I didn't have time to set to default values and then readjust, so I decided to go with these values from the start:

My Values
Front 1 3/16 inch (30 mm)
Rear H.A.S. 1 31/32 inch (50 mm)

====================================

Tein manual wheel centre to fender reference values:
----------------------------------------
"USA"
Front 12.8 / 12.6 inch (325 / 320 mm)
Rear 12.8 / 12.6 inch (325 / 320 mm)

"UK"
Front 13 inch (330 mm)
Rear 12.8 inch (325 mm)
----------------------------------------
Stock values:
~ 14 1/2 inch (368 mm) all around

Lowered, results from my values:
~ 13 inch (330 mm) all around

Before install, I was worried about rub on pronounced weight transfer, hard bumps and full steering lock, especially on wheels that I suspected were 38 ET instead of 45. I still don't know what offset they are (rushed install), but they don't rub. Tested on full stretch of Mississauga Rd Erin Mills from Steeles to Dundas. I don't look forward to the construction areas where they've torn up asphalt and mark raised manhole covers with orange paint that you don't notice until it's too late.

Scraped audibly only once going down to parking garage. Learned my lesson, I now approach skewed, leaving or entering.

My good weather sneakers:
GP Racing GR-6 15x6.5 ET 45 flat black
Falken Ziex ZE-912 205/50R15

The previous owner of the above reported it was GP Racing, but the hole pattern (not lug holes) leaves me to think they're aren't GR-6. Google it up, you'll know what I mean. The reported offset is probable, judging from how great they fit.

I stayed away from anything 16" and over
1) to open me up to (what I assume) more tire selection and more affordable tires
2) to give more sidewall cushion to the more affordable "replica" rims, coincidentally in my price range. Internet horror stories of knockoff rims shattering and shearing at the spokes left me paranoid
3) to avoid excess unsprung and enjoy any weight benefits that cast alloys may offer over the steelies
4) to reduce the daylight within the wheel, makes the brakes look properly sized. I detest the oversized look:



The wife already thinks the flat black is a bit gaudy. I somewhat agree, but I couldn't pass up the kijiji offer.

I might get silver one day, if I ever find them in this size, or paint these ones some low-key "OEM" semi-gloss silver to blend in with the 401 herd. My practical side tells me I'll do nothing of the sort, as all this costs time and money better spent on a rear sway bar.

The 2993 rears are just fine (in fact, feel better) on the Yaris. We've sold dozens of sets with no problems, no failures, and no complaints.

Happy to ship to Canada. Side note: I didn't get a million messages. Or a PM. Or an email, I *think*. Happy to PM you my personal cell phone number.

Then again, I wouldn't like to check a million messages. I'd think the caller was a jerk.

I have to save up for my school first, so in about 2 weeks I should be able to buy the tokicos from Garm. I saw them at around $15 less on a website, but I prefer to order from microimage. I made Garm go through hell with a purchase and he still treated me really nice .

By the way you could have save some money with the springs, but now you do have adjustable height. In case of horrible winters/weather you have the option to raise the car.

And also, those pictures are sexy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks! For once, somebody who doesn't berate me for not going slammed! It's like peer pressure, I tell you.


And you're right about the adjustability. It's my nature to tweak things, so this worked out well. I'd like to keep adjustments to a minimum though, because alignments aren't cheap.

I take it you're all too familiar with winters. Are you from the GTA?

I didnt do any alignement at all and I had install adjustable front sway link too. I dont see or feel any problem to aliigment. I think those tech are b.s about aligments. it costs 150 each time.
