Yet another suspension question - Toyota Yaris Forums

mastaofdisasta · 04-13-2009, 10:14 PM

Im trying to decide between tanabe df210 and the gf210. For the time being until i get more money i plan on getting some tokico shocks (unless thats a bad idea) What can yall tell me about the performance of these 2 dif. springs on stock shocks? Which one is better for track use?
cheers

And does anyone know if the h&r wheel spacers are sold in a set of 4 or 2?

Thought you had a typo there. I can't recall anyone discussing the gf210s. It's always the nfs or dfs.

Looks to me like the gfs split the difference in the drop between nf210 and df210.

The most important thing for track use will be damper. TRD has a shock, Tokico have the non adjustable blue, and will soon have the HTS. As for springs, i use the DF210 and its ok, but i wish it were stiffer.

H&R spacers come in sets of 2.

There are no GF210 for the Yaris in the tanabe application chart on the website.

Just NF210 and DF210 which most people usually discuss.

If you saw GF210, most probably in the Microimage store. They are meant for the Honda FIT (Jazz).

Unless of course your not buying springs for the Yaris and asking in general...then don't mind me:

wishful thinking, we need the GF series.

^ so true.

NF210 and DF210 for now, though. And Progress, which are turning out to be a very nice spring with a drop between the two Tanabe springs.

stock shocks ok to run with for now?

33OH · 04-16-2009, 02:10 PM

I run stock shocks with no problem, running on DF210's.

Yes, no one has reported any problems using aftermarket lowering springs with stock struts and shocks.
