what to look out for when installing lowering springs - Toyota Yaris Forums

slvryaris · 12-09-2008, 02:34 AM

I have the Tanabe NF210's on my sedan and I think it still rides great. I have about 45,000 miles on the springs and 65,000 miles total, and I dont see any change in the shocks. Obviously the lower you go the more wear your shocks will feel because they are compressed further down then before, but I wouldnt worry about it. The Tanabe DF210's lower the car further then the NF's. I believe the NF springs lower the car about 1.2 inches and the DF's are around 2 inches I believe. YOu can see the pics in my garage of the car with the NF's.

Not for sure on the price of the Tanabes but I gurantee we have a vendor on here ready to sell a pair to ya. Chris07lb has a great Do it yourself for installing the springs. I followed it word for word with a friend and we had it done in less then 2 hrs. the rear is cake.

Is that what you have on the car in your avatar? Could I see a couple of bigger pics? Trying to figure out what to put on my sedan.
