it wont matter, the suspension are the same and the weight isnt enough to make a difference

Seems like the TN121's are the way to go if you plan on actually having people in the car instead of just being outside taking photos of it.

you can't compare the two because Toyota also includes new shocks I believe. But regularly Eibach costs about the same ($200-250 range).
Also on past models (i.e. Celica, MR-S) they have had two types of springs, both labled as TRD, the pro kit (1.5 drop) and the sportline (2.0 drop) but you had to seach for them by part number at the dealership you guys think that they will have the same thing for the yaris? |

Thats good to know. But I would rather they just switch everything out at once I have had problems wiht my Tein S.tehcs and my KYB GR2's on my 240 so I would feel more comfertable doing it all at once.

the TRD/Eibach's drop the car ~1.3" from what I understand. With a new car and new shocks, such a mild drop should not blow your shocks out significantly faster. With an older car like the 240/older civics, yes there are problems going to a stiffer spring without replacing your shocks.
that is an odd spring rate in the rear for the Tanabe DF's... softer than the ones with half an inch less drop?? |

always replace shocks when you replace springs, or you will be doing it soon after. Not really saving any money. Shocks are like 300+ for all 4 from what I have seen which isn't that much.

thats all well and good but new shocks are always good for new springs, especially if they are made for a lower stance.

not necessarily just new shocks, but the right type of shocks as well. if you are really into performance, getting shocks with firmer damping, perhaps even adjustability, will enhance the overall ride and allow you to tune the shocks to the springs for their particular use.
like i said, for normal every day use, there really isnt much problems using stock shocks with lowering springs. oem shocks should be replaced what, every 100k km's or so? using lowering springs maybe will take 20k km's off its life expectancy? our cars are still so new, the stock shocks are still in good shape and capable of keeping up with slightly stiffer springs. if our cars were getting up there in mileage, and the stock shocks are getting to the point where they need to be replaced anyways, then upgrade and replace then. now if you were planning on driving the car aggresively via auto-x, track days, etc etc, then that's a different ball game. me, i just want to get rid of the 4x4 look, and reduce the body roll :) |
