For the back of the Yaris, if you did something like stacking a 6" 400# spring with a 2" 200# spring, the low rate spring would be mostly compressed under the weight of the car and as soon as you entered a turn, the outised spring would coil-bind and give you the 400# rate that you want for cornering. The inside spring would extend, giving you the full effect of the two springs, which nets a nice, soft 133# rate that would be in effect when that wheel came down to smooth things out. Ground-Control sells the springs you'd need to do that if you wanted to go with 2.5" ID springs. |

You're not really losing any grip, though. The overall cornering potential of the car goes up. You're taking grip away from the rear where it wasn't needed and transferring it to the front where it was. |

ground control utilizes eibach :) so you may be able to source them cheaper thru someone else?

That would absolutely solve the problem if there was room to make it to work. |

I just wanted to throw that out there as an example of what can be done if a person were so motivated. |

I used to know a place that sold lightly used springs from race cars, eibach and hypercoils for cheap. I'll see if i can dig it up. They wanted like $30 per pair. |

well, after having Steve at Ground control dick me around for 3 days like he was gonna actually be helpful, he gives me a canned-bullshit "we no longer carry an application for your vehicle" answer. i'm now stuck with Ksport rear perches/springs on special order, and nothing for the front of my car.
thanks again, ground control. you've dicked me over for the last time. i'm again reminded why i quit doing business with you back in 2003
