lowering springs - Toyota Yaris Forums

bsubia808 · 08-30-2011, 01:00 AM

Just bought set of drop springs manufactured by dynamic auto designs dropzone roughly 2-2.5" and need some help with DIY and maybe some recommendation..also if its still driveable with stock shocks and struts? Cut bump tops or any add ons. Thanks

definitely cut bump stops for that drop. Your struts and shocks will definitely "work", but it's a mismatch so your handling may be a little wonky, and they will not last as long.

Got a link to that strut/shock brand? I haven't heard of it.

^ he actually wants you to share more information on the springs. These are a brand that is new to us. Nobody has ever heard of, nor had experience with dynamic auto.
