Micro Image branded springs - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

coffiend · 04-01-2010, 09:55 PM

2 1/4" to 2.5" would be GREAT. getting tired of not being low enough on the s. Techs and cannot afford coilovers.

Maybe start a poll to keep it organized?

1.5 - 1.75
1.75 - 2
2 - 2.5

.... Thn go from there after the votes come in. Just a thought :)

I'm in the market right now...

I was going to pick up some TRD springs off another owner. I'm not looking for something that will destroy my OEM suspension. I would like something close to the TRD offering, yet wouldn't affect everything else negatively. A little more of a drop is cool if I don't have to modify my fenders.

What's the time frame on this?

BrazdonW · 04-01-2010, 10:43 PM

I would RE-buy springs if they dropped lower than my tein's
2.0 - 2.5 drop all around and i am FOR SURE in lol

LA Yaris · 04-01-2010, 11:28 PM

why not a 3" ?

BrazdonW · 04-02-2010, 04:39 PM

Low and slow is what its all about ;)

POORSHA · 04-02-2010, 05:28 PM

I say lets go for value. Low price 1.5 inch all around. It would be great if newbies could get springs for short money and not have to change their shocks or bottom out in the winter

but there are like 3 other springs out there that do that already for cheap.

what would be the point?

cruz-gsr · 04-02-2010, 05:41 PM

ill go with poorsha's idea

POORSHA · 04-02-2010, 07:45 PM

When I say short money I am thinking the magic # $99.99 shipped

laer899 · 04-02-2010, 10:30 PM

+1 for extremely affordable and stiff

Mister Z · 04-02-2010, 10:39 PM

I would be down for a 2.5 inch drop and 5kg/4kg spring rates

why? · 04-04-2010, 12:56 PM

what's with all the softer in the rear junk? ewww, it should be at least as firm all around, if not stiffer in the rear. maybe 6 or 7k all around?

cali yaris · 04-04-2010, 01:58 PM

^ that's for drivers who can handle oversteer. It's a very important reason why most companies don't do that.

Most customers want to lower their cars for stance and as a secondary effect, handling. Not the other way 'round. That's just a fact of the marketplace.

These are ALL good ideas, everyone. There is no right or wrong to it. Success on a first try out would mean more choices in the future.

So I have to consider all possible segments before choosing one to commit to.

Thank you all

As an old fart, I'm in that boat! Coming from a minivan I think the Yaris handles fine, but I'd love a nice 2" drop without sacrificing ride quality. If that's already out there, someone please let me know.

detroiter · 04-04-2010, 02:29 PM

I do agree that their probably would be a decent amount of customers who would love a spring that is stock height, yet considerably stiffer. It's like what was once said long ago though...you can't please all the people all of the time. A MI brand spring would be really cool though for sure

coffiend · 04-06-2010, 03:15 AM

^ eh, idk about that. Stock height on a Yaris sits like an AMC Eagle.

i would swap out the S. Techs a buy new MI springs if they were lower and real stiff.

detroiter · 04-06-2010, 12:25 PM

But the S techs are already pretty darn low, are they not? And I was just going by what seems that their's alot of people who don't want to be lower due to crummy roads or winters, yet they would like to get rid of the horrendous body roll that exists.
