ideal spring rates for coil-overs on Yaris - Toyota Yaris Forums

rob323 · 01-27-2009, 05:24 PM

Had a good squiz at my echo last night with tape measure in hand. Maybe a Yaris has more clearance than an echo, but it would a very tight squeeze to fit 2.5" ID springs in there. They would fit with the standard 175 wide tyres and 5.5" rims (about 10mm clearance to tyre) but any other offset or width could cause problems and may require spacers. There is also the rear brake line to the drums that would possibly get in the way. Not really worth it for my application but might be worth investigating further for smooth tarmac type work where limited suspension travel is needed (and therefore shorter springs can be used).
