The Good the Bad & the Ugly
Good: the Yaris sits high this is good for viewing down the road to see ahead of you it also makes for good ground clearence when driving over obsticals in the road or pot hole and not to mention any off roading that you might come up against.
Bad: I have had Many Many Many cars, I have lowered respringed, new solid bushings, lightened flywheel, duel side draft weber carbs, motor swaps. off subject: Iam currently doing a second complete suspension rebuild/replacement and motor swap a 2.5L turbo Subaru motor into a 2000lbs. Porshe 914. Ugly: lowering by replacing springs can make your new car have an uncomfortable ride and noiser than it already is. replace the Swaybar there is no down side, just better handling even with the skinny 185 tires G |

Even my TRD springs dropped another 1/4" - 1/2" lower than advertized spec. after a few weeks of driving.
