i did, just what the dealership was offering, nothing special

hoahmaru · 04-05-2006, 03:02 AM

I want to get my Yaris lowered as well. Is the height pretty good or is it still a bit high with the Toyota springs?

Ryu · 04-05-2006, 11:03 AM

LAHAL, It is weird that your Yaris seems lower more than my Yaris.
I got mine lowered also at Toyota Dealership.
Same Spring but with different drop, how interesting

new springs do "settle" or it could be the lighting, are you looking at the ground or the wheel gap?

I am looking at the wheel gap, mine is not as close as LAHAL's wheel gap,
I have some pic posted in the orange mica thread, I think the reason might be my 14" wheel vs the RS 15" even though the dealer do tell me that it needs time to settle.

And also on the RS it comes with the side skirt, so that might make it look a little closer to the ground when compared to the LE model that doesn't come with the side skirt.

LAHAL · 04-05-2006, 03:04 AM

thanx for the info. Yea I'am scared of scratching the bottom of the Yaris, is it just mostly the speed bumps that you need to be careful on? and also are your windows tinted 35% or 20%? Did you tint the front as well?

carhartt · 06-28-2009, 02:02 PM

yeah i agree black = nice :D

Here is mine at the Arctic Circle, Alaska.

(hubcaps removed before leaving so they wouldnt fall off on unimproved roads)

Always interesting to compare a before and after shot for those interested in exterior mods. I replaced my 17" black BuddyClub rims with my 16" Rota RBs on some Nokian Hakkapeliitta R's for the winter. My car sits on H&R springs with a Tokico Blue suspension and TRD rear sway bar. Also visible is the Canadian RS rear spoiler, MI replica taillights and Spyder projectors. Can't see the engine goodies in the shot

After five years, still loving my car. Waiting for my Clazzio seatcovers.

Sorry for the crappy quality - my work BlackBerry sucks

Lowering isnt recommended in Great Britain as there are way to many sleeping policemen or speed bumps as they are called now. my car is stock and i have bottomed out ,i agree with the reason for them but idiots and thieves still dont slowdown and all they achieve is to knacker your suspension ,tracking and your back.0

here's one that I found, I think that it's Kenbow's car

This Vitz RS does not exist in my thing

DJ_SpaRky · 04-05-2006, 04:43 PM

word. that's the right place to look, I think that the tire overall diameter is the same for both, so maybe it's just lighting playing tricks LOL

ricko · 04-05-2006, 04:57 PM

Could be the angle it was photographed at too. From a distance, a slight change in camera height could make a big difference.

Ryu · 04-05-2006, 05:03 PM

I see, no wonder it looks differently on the photo with the same spring.
