last Friday night at the meeting,
i test drive a Yaris with that DFs..and it felt okay actually.
and i was surprise when the owner suggested to get the Tein instead.

Most people i asked in here said Tein,
Autobacs said Tanabe,
my buddies at VW Vortex said Eibach or H&R,

i pick Tein..!!

Tein is the way to go for sure. Eibach and H&R will always be what a VW owner tells you to get.. but they are far from the best. (not bad mind you) Tanabe are good but Tein sustains the normal ride of the car best.

once settled, my DF's dropped a hair over 2" all around.

some people like myself actually measure these things before and after...

Any companies out there plan to make a more dramatic drop? or is this about it?

Doubt it. Unless they package a spring/strut combo(matched set) for the front, and a spring/shock for the rear.

With DF's and over 25,000 miles on the stock struts/shocks, I haven't noticed any change yet in the ride, but I know these wont last forever.

If looking to go lower then 2", Id just suggest coilovers.

Yeah I'm not wanting to throw that much money in a DD, To bad ground control or someone didn't make a kit. I guess its Tanabe's for now.
