LoTek, Tuningpros, M2, or Megan lowering springs? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Henry_mak16 · 08-03-2013, 09:55 PM

Im on a budget and these are the 4 main lowered springs i can afford. I saw someone vouche for the lotek but there was no update as to how it is doing now. The tanebe (or whatever) branded are too expensive. Can anyone vouche for one of these brands? they are alright on stock struts right? I appreciate it yarisworld!

I bought the M2's just cause of the price. anyone correct me if im wrong but they are the same as Megan springs? Either way I bought them, put them on (didn't switch out my struts/shocks yet) and they seem fine. Been running them for almost 6 months with no issues. It seems liek the rear might be a little lower, but I think its cause I had to run 2 differnent tires on the back so it sits different. The ride is pretty good and cornering is a breeze (I cant wait to change out the struts for "blues" and throw a rear strut bar in it) But I say they are good for a start.

Only experience I've had with those listed are with Megan springs, and that was with my GTI. It was no where near the advertised drop rate, and in fact, barely lowered the car. I'd save your money until you can get another brand.

You will have to get one after the instal for sure, but Id wait a week or so (Matters on how much you drive it) to let the springs settle a bit. I found they dropped about a quarter of a inch more after about a week or 2. But none the less not bad springs for the price.
