Lowering help?!? How low to go. - Toyota Yaris Forums

counterfiend · 03-13-2009, 02:46 AM

Well my fiance got a Yaris last night, and we already wanna work on it, she went from a modifed mustang, that was just to big for her to this little cute 5 door.

We are going with either some 16's or 17's possibly 18's depending on offset.

But we wanna go low without coilovers.

What springs get the lowest?

tanabe df210's lowest possible drop, some may argue that though.

I believe they're the lowest advertised drop.

If memory serves;
DF210 = -1.8"
Tien = -1.5"
TRD = -1.2" (mine had dropped to about -1.5" after a month of use)

Eibach = -1.0"

Can't recall the spec for NF210, -1.25 perhaps???

Thanks for that MUSKOKA. I figured they were. I think your right on the NF's it's a mild drop with those

lilredrocket · 03-13-2009, 04:56 PM

Dont the Tien S Tech's give almost the full 2" drop and stiffer spring rates?

Tamago · 03-13-2009, 04:58 PM

coilovers > all

OP, please don't do 18's..... poor lil hamsters will get tired lugging around all that weight!

spookz · 03-13-2009, 05:55 PM

As far as I remember,

NF210 - 1.1/1.3
DF210 - 1.6/1.8
Sprint - 1.75/1.75
Tein - 1.9/1.9
Megan Racing - 1.5/1.5
Progress - 1.7/1.8
Eibach - 1.0/1.0
TRD USA - 1.2/1.2 (red)
TRD Sportivo - 1.0/1.0 (white)
TTE - 1.2/1.2

Some of them are approximates, as the figures are given in mm, so I've rounded it up/down. Hope that helps.

I want your oppinion, people! :D
I thought about the Eibach ProKit(1" drop front/rear), everybody reccomends them, they should be a good choice, at a good price(a little over $200)...I'm wondering...is the 1" drop noticeable..does it improve handling?

jdinrc · 03-19-2009, 09:37 PM

I went with the TRD springs and the drop is noticeable, so that the tire and wheel well line up nicely. The handling (I also got the TRD rear anti-sway bar at the same time) is great. The car doesn't feel so top heavy now.

DF210: $158 shipped.
Progress: $145 shipped.

I don`t think the DFs go with the my diesel yaris... all springs manufacturers offer different springs for petrol/diesel cars...

For example, H&R have 29126-2(for diesel) and H&R 29126-1(petrol)...same with Eibach!
