NEW SPRINGS: need a TEST SUBJECT - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Aothachos · 05-10-2009, 10:22 PM

hey garm when will you have more in stock, I'm willing to buy one (i have stock suspension) =)

detroiter · 05-10-2009, 11:21 PM

I've been extremely busy as of late with work but hopefully within the next few days I'll be able to catch a break long enough to get these things on. I'll have some pics and such of the install and INITIAL impressions but I won't be getting into too many details until I can get break them in and also get a good feeling of them so I can give the best review possible. Soon though, very soon!

ANything?

cali yaris · 05-14-2009, 04:47 PM

I'd like to hear detroiter's first impressions, this will help me decide how many sets to import with our next order.

detroiter · 05-15-2009, 12:54 AM

install should be coming soon, i should catch a break here very soon for the install.

just by appearance, they do look to be very well made and im sure they will perform as good as they look.

hey garm, you know if anyone else in the states (or even the world?) have these springs on there Yaris?

planning to run them all winter? im curious to see how they hold up w/ the salt and whatnot...

Pitt Yaris · 05-17-2009, 07:38 PM

Any plans of having these on within the month?

cali yaris · 05-17-2009, 08:11 PM

As far as I know, these are the first set in the USA.

Detroiter, c'mon we are all waiting, especially me.

Guess a pre-requisite to picking someone should have been asked "how long is it gonna take you to put them on"

cali yaris · 05-17-2009, 10:04 PM

uh yeah... forgot to ask that, honestly.

Pitt Yaris · 05-17-2009, 10:07 PM

Haha. I'm holding out on springs til we get pics of these and a review.

detroiter · 05-18-2009, 01:10 AM

Give me a break sheesh, full time spring semester at school (twice the work in half the time) with full time work and a black belt test coming up in two weeks sure puts a big damper on things lol! I'm going to try aiming for Tuesday, hopefully be able to squeeze it in. Trust me, you guys are not the only ones anxious! I'm extremely antsy to get these things on and to get some good pictures with a nice written review so that others may have some insight on another possible choice of springs for them to use with their car. So please bare with me guys, It's coming extremely soon I promise!

Do keep in mind I will give an initial thought (and pictures of course) to what I think of them when they are installed but I won't give a full opinion until a week or so after the installation so that it gives them ample time to fully break in, thus allowing the review to be honest and accurate as possible about the springs looks and performance.

cali yaris · 05-18-2009, 11:23 AM

PM'ed.

mrbond · 05-18-2009, 11:45 AM

Well, I'm done with my spring semester and I don't really have anything else going on besides work so, Detroiter, if you don't have free time, feel free to sell those springs to me. I'll get 'em on the day I get them.

detroiter · 05-18-2009, 12:36 PM

Enough of the bashing. They will be going on tomorrow hopefully.

mrbond · 05-18-2009, 12:48 PM

Dude, chill. I wasn't bashing, I was just making a simple suggestion.
