TANABE DF210 Spring Install [pics] - Toyota Yaris Forums

THANK YOU for the diy, it was really (really, really) helpful.

Took two of us about 3.5 hours, but we messed with the plastic and metal under the hood for a while. I had to remove the metal shroud there completely to get to the top of the front strut bolt. Just went super slow and careful, I"m always afraid I'm going to break or lose something.

I would say air tools are a big plus. We used an air tool on the top front strut bolt, so we didn't need the allens wrench in there. I couldn't get a box end on there solid enough to loosen that one.

Didn't need to compress the rear springs at all (the rears as SO EASY).

Anyway, thanks again for the DIY, and the DF210's are a PERFECT drop for this car. Pictures forthcoming (it got dark while we were working...)

woo hoo, gonna go drive it around now!!
