More drop
even @ 2" drop, the yaris is still pretty "high". Are there any springs that go lower, or potential problems with lower than the 1.8" tanabe's?

With the DF's the stock shock is way too long. The only way to properly go lower is with shortened shaft shocks which come with coilovers like the Cusco's and SK's

Drop your Yaris 2" and then tell me it's still "high." Hardly.

It might still *feel* high while sitting in it, because of the Minivan front seats, but I can't say that they *look* high to me...

i was only gonna use the 2 inch drop cause i thought it would be too low with my wheel/tire consideration. hook me up with some pictures of your drop so i can see......

dont know what others think but going more than 2" and even at 2" youll be killing the rest of your stock suspension. tie rod ends, shocks, bushings etc etc. thats why older cars/trucks use lowered spindles.

I also think 2 inches is not low enough... I am used to having some tire tucking action. But on the Yaris I want the rear tire to sit just inside the wheel well and the front tire to just enough room to turn away from the fender... that's how I roll

my 70 chev pickup also runs 2" springs and 3" spindles, I killed 3 sets of cheap lower ball joints before I finally bought the spindles. The rear runs 4" drop (ive never done a 'c' notch) and has also blown out shocks, actually thats how it sits, havent driven it since last winter...looks more like a rat rod these days than a street rod.
I cant go 2" lower unless I buy a different set of wheels but those of you running even 1.5 drops looks sweet.

The DIY Manual has a guide to put some Sparco seats in.

That's exactly what this car needs, lower, more comfortable seats. Problem is, no one makes a good quality seat bracket, and I'm not reusing the stock one like the DIY posted on this site says to do. That's pointless because you don't sit any lower and you aren't dropping weight that much.

cant you buy an aftermarket generic slider and cut it down to match the mount points or find one which measures correct? shit, in the world of parts these days theres got to be something similar at the least.
