DF210's on an S Sedan... - Toyota Yaris Forums

slvryaris · 07-31-2006, 02:56 PM

I was wondering if anyone was going to do or has already put DF210's on an S Sedan. I am debating on the DF's and NF's.

I will be doing the TRD Suspension kit myself...keep the warranty for something like that...just my opinion....

Even the TRD suspension installed by something other then a tech from Toyota will void it if something suspension wise happens to the car correct??

I have a pair right now, but I am hoping it wont be too low. Thats what I am debating on. If there is such thing as low.

If you have the stcok 15's like I have, the DF210's are kinda low, but not low enough where you have to be constantly reminding yourself over evey pot hole or road break..

I am puttin on 17 in. Maglite wheels wth 215/40. The front lip was the only thing I was worried about.

u have done it or you will? :p

johnnyfive · 08-01-2006, 12:26 PM

i have scuffed the bottom of my front lip already on stock suspension, but i am still no hesitation on putting the DF210's on...it probably will be 2 low, but just think of the stock front lip as a scuffguard for the front bumper :p

GO JOHNNY GO!

Fair warning, I have the TRD suspension and the bottom of my car is absolutely trashed after a stout 3750 miles. If you're planning on dropping your Yaris, get used to the fact that this will be a fact of life. You will bottom out. Period.

Anyone on skid plates for a Yaris? Haha. This rollerskate needs something to grind on.

fnkngrv · 08-01-2006, 02:54 PM

Well that is nice to know even if it sucks ass

OxyG3nE · 08-01-2006, 02:58 PM

i want to put the df210 drop with 17in mag and 215/40r17 tire.. do you think its gonna work or it will be too low? waiting about info to decide what to buy lol :P

ChinoCharles · 08-02-2006, 12:28 AM

Who cares about some scuffs? Just an excuse to throw your dream body kit on it later and garage it as a keeper. Its a piece of Japanamerican culture.

Seriously though, its not really cosmetic damage since 99% of any scratches you will get from "bottoming out" will be on the very bottom of your kit. It is damage that is easily fixed.

slvryaris · 08-02-2006, 07:47 AM

I have noticed some people talk about "bottoming out". I am curious to know how many of you that have lowered your Yaris has cut the bump stops down??????

There's "bottoming out your suspension" a.k.a. riding the bump stops, and then there is "bottoming out your your car," a.k.a. hitting a nice big 'ol pot hole and slamming the car down in it.

Those with the TRD suspension are not cutting their bumpstops.. is it because the drop isn't as severe as a Tanbe drop, or is it because Toyota doesnt want you to really use your stock struts, and that you upgrade to the TRD struts/shocks when these original ones "bottom out."

Id be willing to bet, some wouldnt even know what if felt like to ride their bumpstops, and would just blame the new ride quality on the "springs" themselves.

That would have to be one huge pothole, but I have seen them. I will probably stick with the DF's on mine. I got them really cheap though so if I decide to go with the NF's I wont be out much or there is always EBay. I was just worried about the front effect getting ripped of as well as the whole front end, but I really doubt if that would happen. Thats why I was asking some of you guys that had already lowered their Yaris's, but I have an S Sedan so I have ground effects to worry about.

Would it make you feel better if I said "highway dip?"
