WOOT got my Kaminari kit!! - Toyota Yaris Forums

Turbo&Auto · 07-09-2007, 07:17 PM

Just finished fitting it today. Pretty easy, I would rank it a 1 on the skill level. If you can use a die-grinder and a drill, you can install this kit.

It will be painted in a day or 2

Update:
Painted now:

Really sharp. Did they come black? If so, thats nice... better in the meantime before you can get them painted than the grey jobbers. Congratulations!

take the front lip off in the winter.. I ended up getting cracks and chipped paint from sand/snowbanks on my old vehicle!

suttonschinook · 07-09-2007, 08:51 PM

Dude, that is f'ing SWEET!! Looks a alot better than on Kaminari's car. I can't wait to see it painted. BTW what are you dropped with? Evan

Turbo&Auto · 07-09-2007, 09:19 PM

Tanabe DF springs. I need stiffer shocks though. Anyone have the TRD ones, are they any good? So far I'm not impressed with anything TRD.

The kit comes in that gloss black ABS.

I paint ;) It's going to cost me under $100 to do the job. Not a biggie if it gets messed up.

yes, i have the TRD Sportivo shocks. they're great. i have them with the Tein S.Tech's. i've had a crap load of weight in the car, and it never bottomed out. actually, i had only the front struts installed at first, and my Yaris was understeering pretty bad, but when i finally got the rear shocks installed, everything balanced out. i recommend the shocks.

slvryaris · 07-10-2007, 03:22 AM

How much are the shocks and struts? Do they come in a pair, and can they be used with the sedan and the liftback? Also I was curious if it raised your suspension lowered it or kept it the same ride height.

Sorry for all the questions, but I was going to purchase a set and needed to find someone with them already.

i got the TRD shocks here...

when i bought it, it came out to be around $320. they come with a pair of struts for the front and a pair of shocks for the rear. they can be used for both the LB and the sedan (i think all suspensions parts are interchangeable between the LB and the sedan). i think it may have lowered it since a lot of people think i'm using coil overs and not just the Tein S.Tech springs. not really sure on that, but i am sure that it made a big difference in dampening. it's cool, i don't mind the questions, i like helping people out when ever i can.

solarVitz · 07-09-2007, 09:34 PM
