Rear suspension - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hmm i can almost swear the rear of my car sits lower now. The fender gap is the same but the rear of the car is lower. Its as if the car has 15s in the front and 17 inch rims in the back. And then i swapped out the 15s back in the back. Before and after. It looks like i lowered the car about a inch more looking strait on from the back. I dont think its some placebo effect either looking strait on it does look lower. But looking from the side from the wheel and fender it looks the same. If someone is planning on doing this mod please take a tape measure and measure from fender to ground and rear bumper to ground before and after please.

that doesnt seem unreasonable... the spring sits slightly fore of the center of the wheel. if you change the pitch of the beam, you can raise or lower the spring perch as well. personally, i would think it would make it sit a little higher as the perch is tilted slightly higher.
