Need help with lowering springs - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hey Garm, I think the sedan is lighter by either 2 or 20 pounds. I really don't know why it gets lower tho.

OP, flip the rim around and look for the offset ("ET" and/or "+" x amount). If that number is at least 42, you're good to go as low as the Tein S.Tech's (what I have, although my offset on my 17's is only 40, I get slight rubbing on freeway dips). If it's lower than 42, you might want to stick to the more subtle drops, like TRD or Eibach.

Holy crap he's right. I had to look it up on toyota to see it for myself.

MT 3dr yaris curb weight:2295
MT sedan yaris curb weight:2293

The auto transmission's weight isn't listed on the toyota site, but I'm guessing it outweighs both.
