Spring question? - Toyota Yaris Forums

jekqmb · 08-17-2009, 12:17 AM

Okay i think im going to give springs a shot on the yaris first...I like to go really low, but i decided i dont want coilovers..What spring lowers the car the most?
Thanks, Jake!

The DFs or Progress I think are the lowest

lilredrocket · 08-17-2009, 12:35 AM

Yep they are and make the cars stance great!!

jekqmb · 08-17-2009, 12:37 AM

Okay, i bought Rota SA Racing rims 15x6.5...I probably should have got a wider wheel, maybe 15x7.5 or so and stretched the tires, but i figure im going to need something that really tucks these wheels in.....

Tanabe DF210 will be lowest. You can use camber bolts (front) and shims (rear) to get extra tuck if you have any rubbing issues.

what offset are your wheels?

Kaotic Lazagna · 08-17-2009, 01:56 AM

Really? I thought the Tein S.Tech's drop the LB 1.9" all the way around and the DF's were like 1.8" or something like that.

40mm.....I called and they said these wheels would fit, will i have any issues with a 40mm offset? Im pretty sure i read the yaris is good with a 40-44mm offset or something like that? So what goes lower, Tein or the Tanabes?

lilredrocket · 08-18-2009, 05:53 AM

My bad I keep forgeting about the tien's they are the lowest

jekqmb · 08-18-2009, 08:03 PM

Okay thanks!

Tamago · 08-18-2009, 08:29 PM

the DF's will sag much lower than the Teins.

progress tucks tire on an xD :D

I believe they should work fine with either Teins or the Tanabes. Also keep in mind that the S.Tech's have a higher spring rate in the rear, making for better handling characteristic on a fwd car like our Yaris. The Tanabe's have firmer spring rates in the front.

jekqmb · 08-18-2009, 08:53 PM

Awesome thanks for the info guys...Im ordering either one tommorow, i want to see how the car feels at stock height after i pick her up at noon tommorow to see how low i want to go and how stiff i want my springs and say fairwell to my Redline as the dick salesman drives it away......Thank goodness all i have to do is go grab the keys for the yaris and drive off

Kaotic Lazagna · 08-18-2009, 08:58 PM

Why are you getting rid of the Redline anyway?

Anywho, you'll want the springs stiffer and the ride lower, trust me. hahahaha, Just take the Yaris on the freeway and feel the crosswinds. hahaha. When taking corners hard with the stock suspension, it'll make you sing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3JpQDeqxnI

The redline has a bad MAF, bad fuel pump, Maybe a blown #4 ringland, bad clutch, diff pin is loose. Haha i just didnt want to fix it, plus its got lots O miles on it....Ran 3 different nitrous setups threw it. Its time to get something good on gas and im buying a 2.2 Eco Cavy in the spring to Turbo.

Kaotic Lazagna · 08-19-2009, 03:09 AM

Ah, I would have gotten a Yaris as well.

hahahaha, you should throw on a Toyota emblem on that Cavalier and make it JDM. hehehe.

lilredrocket · 08-19-2009, 12:19 PM

If you really want to stablize your ride get a rear sway bar!!! I can think of like 4 options out there: TRD one expensive, Ultra racing 19 and 23, and Raptor Racing came out with one. Those will really help you out!!

jekqmb · 08-19-2009, 12:27 PM

Hey i was look at the UR ones, which one would be the best? 19 or 23?

mrbond · 08-19-2009, 12:33 PM

^23mm hands down. I tried both and the extra few millimeters makes a big difference. If you want to further add to rear stiffness and improve handling even more, spring for the Nitto rear lower tie brace at microimage. I love it.
