Aftermarket shock and springs

[Thirty-Nine]

Is anyone running aftermarket shocks? Is there anything out there other than the TRDs at the moment?

I'm debating between coilovers and a traditional spring/shock combo. Honestly, I'd never adjust the coilovers (I had them on my Prelude, and never adjusted the height), but want to go fairly low without losing a lot of travel.

TRDs and Tanabe DF210s or is that asking to be riding on the bumpstops?

I wish Tokico, KYB, or Koni would come out with adjustable shocks ...

just get the basics

I heard TRD shocks and Tanabe DF spring is great combo. Im giving it a shot tho.

TRDs and DFs would probably be roughly half the cost of the Tein Basics ...

How low can you go on Basics again?

[brickhardmeat]

about 3 in the front and 2.5 in the rear

I've been thinking the same thing. A friend had Tokico Illuminas on his CRX and another has Koni's on his Miata, with I think Bilstein springs.

But even if a similar setup was available for Yaris, do you think it would cost less then say, the Tein Basics?

Nope -- but at least you'd get adjustable shocks.

I'm just not sure I want to pay $850 for non adjustable shocks, and a setup that I (personally) will probably never raise or lower. However, for about half that I can get the TRD shocks and a variety of springs that may suit my needs.
