Lowest Drop On Springs?
I was looking at the Yaris with the TANABE DF210's and I love the stance. Is there any springs out there that will drop the car a little bit more? Or is the TANABE about the lowest you can go?

As far as I know If you don't want to invest in coils , DF should be the lowest drop

DF210's are the lowest drop on springs that I know of.How you are going to drive it? Check out several posts on the different combinations other users have tried and how they are using their cars. Some swear by the coil overs...generally the ones that like to push their cars to the limit. Do a search on Tein basics. I personally have the DF,s and I love them.

i believe that the Tein S.Tech's have the greater drop.
Tanabe's specs http://www.tanabe-usa.com/springs/sp...tions.asp?id=1 Tein's specs http://www.tein.com/stech.html |

hmmmm, i think i would go with the Tanabe's since my friends and family say my Tein and TRD set up is a little too stiff/firm/"bouncy" (in their words). but for me, i actually want it a little stiffer.

only because people here said Tein is way better,in comfort..less bouncy and better handling than the Tanabe. last Friday night at the meeting, i test drive a Yaris with that DFs..and it felt okay actually. and i was surprise when the owner suggested to get the Tein instead. Most people i asked in here said Tein, Autobacs said Tanabe, my buddies at VW Vortex said Eibach or H&R, i pick Tein..!! ...>>

Hi!
|
if you want it low, just cut a coil or two off the df's or teins or whatever. the ride will be bouncy and your shocks will die really quickly but you can put your car on the ground if that's what you're after.

cut coils do not make you car bouncy, and they do not kill your struts any faster... that is just being dumb.... that is like saying lowering your car is going to kill your struts and make your car bouncy....

lowering your call WILL kill your struts faster than if you didnt lower them.

No cutting coils here lol. Does anyone have a decent verus picture the picture on the Tein site has like 18's on it. Is there a picture of Tein on stock wheels or something? The Tanabe's looked like they tucked in this picture.
