DIY How_To section... do the install yourself.

[DollaZo]

$400 - $500

Thats the amount I paid for the springs and installation and that quote is just for installation? Dam.... ur getting robbed.

[ASHRAF]

I don't have any mechanical experience ... so i'll not try to f**k my car

where did u install yourz dollazo?

[sewid]

Where'd you get the springs from?

[ASHRAF]

i ordered them from eBay

[hasher22]

Australian buyers dont have any option but to buy some parts overseas.

Though i was about to buy Tanabe DF's over ebay for $125US though shopping is $100US

Which comes to about 285AUD and the Installation fee might be around $80 which will come to $360AUD just to lower the yaris.

[ASHRAF]

it is really bad that we are forced to buy overseas stuff

the stores in Australia should start to import yaris and echo stuff

but they really care about the WRX's here so much that they forgot any other model

[ASHRAF]

and the worst part is really when u want to order exhaust system or body kit which will cost tooo much $$$ shipping the stuff overseas

[hasher22]

Yea when its all overpriced anyway...........

[ASHRAF]

when is this ganna end

even the YRX body kit is not available for purchase

the only kit available at the dealership is the sportivo one which is really cannot be noticed

I want to change the whole car appearance to Vitz RS
but it really cost tooo much money

please bring us some accessories!!!

[hasher22]

Ashraf the YRX bodykit addons are availible.

You have to ring toyota and order them.

Go to Exterior, and its under "Body Enhancement Kit"

[ASHRAF]

the kit u r talking about is the sportivo kit, not the YRX kit

the YRX kit cannot be ordered by non YRX owners (to keep the YRX special as they said to me)

i think i will try (in stages) to change my car look to the Vitz RS, but this is really expensive

[ASHRAF]

just for info

MIDAS are going to do it for me for 195$

this is the cheapest price i've found in perth, it is expensive though

[sewid]

All you need to do to order the YRX kit is take a YRX VIN chassis number to the parts counter at your nearest toyota parts place and order it.

To get a YRX chassis number,go to the nearest Toyota dealer and look at the VIN number on any YRX they have in the lot.

If they ask why just tell them you cracked it on the gutter. It makes no difference to the guy working there. It's not like its Ferrari trying to maintain exclusivity of their Enzo parts or whatever.

thanx m8

and for the lowering

i've installed my springs @ MIDAS for $195 and here are some pics

Pedders offers lowering kits for the Yaris. You guys have any feedback on them (product, service, price, etc.)?

[ASHRAF]

i got a quote of them

$349 for the springs

i did not try pedders

but i prefer tanabe because i use their products before
pedders seems to have nice products though,
