ryank, your pics over in the Please post pics of your Yaris with aftermarket springs here thread really sold the wife on the idea of dropping my Yaris, especially since I have the same spoiler. Thanks again!

But a quick questions, are the fronts really as much of a pain in the ass to do as the instructions make them out to be?

Cheers! M2

Seriously! I spoke to them, they would not budge on ANY info on their product.
That won't stop me from buying H&R, though. Well, not that I'm planning on H&R, just saying not knowing their rates....

Thanks again M2 for the compliments.

The fronts aren't too much of a pain, just make sure you have plenty of time. And take off the wiper tray, a lot easier than trying to work around it.

The fronts weren't that bad, provided that you put everything back together the proper way and pay attention so that you don't end up redoing one side three times because of negligence :-/

I <3 my DF210s

I'm planning on lowering my car. Not too sure if I should go for Tein S-techs or Tanabe DF210's. I'm running 195/55/15...I'm a little worried about tire rubbing after the springs settle in.

Any thoughts?

My wife is running 205-40-17s, I want to know what's the better lowering springs for her. I'm assuming TRDs since they don't drop too low or else there'll be definite rubbage.

Depends on the offset, but TRD's or NF210's would give you a safe drop.

I run 205/40/17's (+42 offset) with DF210's and only rub when turning all of the way while parked.

Oh, her wheels offset should be +35. Which isn't as much but it might still rub whlie turned all the way. I'm going to have to test it and tell her not to turn the wheel fully if it becomes a problem. I really doubt it though, but just to be safe.

Thanks so much!

Your profile indicates 205-45-17s but you mentioned 205-40-17s on this reply. Which statement should I refer to? Sorry about that, I just wanted to check. Thanks again!

TRD, springs and struts. 17/7 Konigs and 215/40 Kumos. Autocross with no "noticed" rub. Some rub on inside tire at very low speed and full deflection. Great performance for the total price and no issues with speed bumps or steep driveway entrances!

Excellent advise from the group at Yaris world in general. Fun and informative forum.

YES THEY DO!!
