How is your car with the TRD struts? I think I'm gonna run those springtechs like you instead of the Tanabe DFs.

I'm putting them on this weekend. I'll let you know how they feel.

i have the trd shocks and tanabae df210 and think the ride is good. i still wish we would have a little stiffer spring set up, but if you want a good daily driver set up with a sporty feel this is the way to go

oh... Im thinking about changing shocks/struts when i get my yaris next month, I dont know if it will be comfortable like my corollas suspension though.... have you had any ride sore or something? and is it a must to change the springs too?

What do want to do with your car? There are a few diferent options in the market. Do you want a lower ride? a stiffer ride? I see no point in replacing the shocks and leaving the stock springs.

In my opinion you should start with the springs and then upgrade the shocks. Just by replacing the springs (even with OEM shocks) you will greatly improve the handling of your Yar.

This may be true but the tendancy of the suspension to "bottom-out" in bigger bumps is greatly increased. You can buy the complete TRD lowring kit from this guy for $330 plus shipping. This includes springs. You should definitley do both upgrades at the same time unless you want to do double the work installing or paying to have installed, springs and then absorbers. Of course this is IMHO. You can probably get Ken at TRD Sparks to match the price...
