Best Springs? - Toyota Yaris Forums

privateyeblckbx · 05-16-2010, 10:04 PM

I have a 2007 Hatchback and wanted to know the best springs were to lower it about 1.5-2"? I like the price of the AOE Tiger Tec's and they give you a big drop compared to most others, but are they pretty stiff and as far as a camber kit has onyone ran into camber problems with more than a 1" drop?
Basically what im looking for is 1.5"+ drop with a stiff spring rate for better handling and a good look.

I have the Tigertecs. I just installed them about two weeks ago but so far I love them. They are not as stiff as I had feared and the price is good.

Price is amazing, you get a lower drop than most others and theyre 80-125 cheaper. Have you noticed a lot better handling? And what about bottoming out with the tiger tecs?

I've owned TigerTecs and now I'm rolling with Tein S-Techs. I guess it really depends on what your looking for out of it. For looks and the price, the AOE TigerTecs can't be beat. They made the car look great and the price was awesome, but I found them to be way too stiff for me and ontop of that, they were a bit on the understeer side.

The Teins so far for me have been amazing none the less. A little more expensive than most of the other springs but it offers a deeper drop and is geared a bit more towards oversteer as compared to understeer with the AOE's. I find them pretty comfortable as well for daily driving (still a bit on the stiff side but very bearable)

So it comes down to what your looking for overall.
