lowering price - just installing tanabe springs

[as400g33k]

$349 incl. installation, alignment, etc? That seems lower than someone posted earlier. Can you post details of that quote, please?

Front Spring Low
2942 2942 Sports Ryder Coil Spring
Rear Spring Low
2943 2943 Sports Ryder Coil Spring

They retail for $158 for front pair, and $158 for rear pair. They work well with stock shocks. I don't get any bouncing(underdamp) from the front or rear.

Thanks

Hmmmmmm Ebay sells Tanabe DF's for $130USD and Shipping is $80USD + installation here would be around 80-100AUD right?

so 130USD + 80USD + 100AUD = $369AUD to lower the yaris in aust

In in comparison $349 for the springs alone OR $349 + Installation, we are getting a better deal of ebay. Only about $20 - $30AUD difference? Thats if you want tanabe springs....


Conclusion - Lowering is a bitch!

[ASHRAF]

No,

I installed them @ MIDAS for AUD$195
I don't have any experience in mechanic and I don't want to risk my car

hasher22,
lowering is expensive but really nice

[hasher22]

are u serious 200 just to install it.......thats a rip....more than the springs itself....

[ASHRAF]

it is a rip

but less than pedders

so I thought I'll just go with it

every thing here is expensive

I've asked about custom interiors

$2900 for leather seats - $9000 + for whole custom interior

really expensive prices in here

if anyone knows a place in Perth to do custom interiors for reasonable prices, just tell me about it please

[hasher22]

i hate australias pricing...



heres the email from pedders

G'day Brian

Thank you for your e-mail regarding your Toyota Yaris to have our
Pedders Sports Ryder lowered coils you would be looking at about the
$640.00 mark fitted and W/Aligned. The coils will lower your vehicle
30-35mm and the spring rate is slightly heavier than the O.E. coils .
This can be done at any of our branches found at our web site at
www.pedders.com.au Or in the White pages under Pedders Suspension.

Regards John

The price of a good looking ride...

[ASHRAF]

I say go with the tanaba

awesome springs and much cheaper than pedders's

the pricing here is really way expensive

[hasher22]

yup im going with Tanabe from ebay or sumwhere where its cheap to buy the DF's....

Theres no way i want a 30 - 35mm drop.........thats still too high for me lol...

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[ASHRAF]

the df's are dropping
1.8" front
1.6" rear

the look nice with my 17"s

u are planning to get 17"s so probably tanabe df210 is the best choice for you

wish u all the best

[hasher22]

Yup thats the plan....


though that isnt gonna take off until i save up summore monay!

I have installed springs myself before and it really is a small job not worth anywhere near the money they want to charge you guys.

Stop shopping around for big name suspension rippof merchants and lookup your local low cost mechanic or ask around your friends for a mechanic who will charge by the hour. I have a mate in Annandale who would do it for $40 /hr if I wanted. It would take him about an hour or an hour and a half if he stopped for a couple of beers half way through so yeah...

[ASHRAF]

if u know how to do it, u r in better situation than me

I don't have any experience at all

and don't know any body here also

so I have to pay this ammount

Hi all,

I noticed you guys talkin bout springs n stuff. Yeah, Pedders is quite pricey. But I must say, it's the best 580 bucks I've spent so far. I actually like the handling of the car more than anything else.

Ride is still supple, yet handling is improved. Also, when fully loaded with three passengers and equipment in the boot...ie. camping gear... the rear doesn't bottom out at all....not matter how big the bumps....

I thought Pedders made the rear a bit high, but now I know why. When fully load the car doesn't have the squat now I'm shitting look which I'm really happy about.

If I had to buy again, I would still buy the pedders.... kinda of wander how the Tanabe's are though...

Thanks all
