Stiffer suspension - same ride height? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I was looking at JC whitney it looks like they have 1" rubber spacers

With spacers people could fine tune their ride height cheaply. I am just not sure if these can be used on the rear.

It was Loren (Our local suspension guru) who brought up the subject of the rubber spacers from JC Whitney.

If I remember correctly he ran some of those in the back of his car with the stock springs for some autoX events. They managed to increase the ride height and stiffnes.

And you can use them on the front as well.

You could go for Some Tanabe NF springs (1" drop) + rubber spacers and probably end up pretty close to the stock height.

Hmmmm, there appears to be quite a difference in the diameter between the front and rears. I will go to the JCWhitney website to see what size are avaliable. Can anyone help me out with this??

Combining spacers of different widths seems to be a good way of tuning ride height.

Anyone else try this???
