Really happy with TRD springs!!!
Hello everyone!, i just wanted to share my experience so far with the trd springs,ive only had them for a week, they are awesome and they lower the car just enough. Its my main vehicle, 50 miles a day, and family use.
Car drives better, a bit stiffer, not awful. i was gonna go for tanabe df210 or something lower but im glad i didnt. Heres some pics! |

Nice, looks awesome...do you mind sharing your wheel and tire size, and details on the springs? Would greatly appreciate it. My car is completely stock with 15" alloys. I've noticed that the handling at higher speeds isn't very good, and I'm wondering if springs in combination with the right wheel and tire size would improve performance without compromising fuel efficiency and any mechanical issues. I once had i had a honda accord that i lowered after the first week that i bought it. The transmission ended up going out after 7 years because it put too much strain on the differential.

Hello buddy!!
At the moment the size of rims is stock OEM 185/60/15 tires that came factory. The lowering springs are the red Trd. Some people say different numbers but i think they only drop 1.3 all around. im sooo glad i didnt go for teins or df210 honestly. Yes it would have look sick with them but my car right now drives amazing and when i have my whole family i dont have to worry much about scraping. Edmonton has bad roads. I think my yaris looks pretty low compared to a stock one,and big difference of feel compared to before. And i also keep my guarantee with trds... If i ever buy another bigger family car i will just install coilovers in the yaris. For now Trd FTW Quote:

Thanks for the info! And you're right, looks just fine the way it is, no need to go any lower.
