Which lowering springs for my application? - Toyota Yaris Forums

My '08 sedan is lowered with TRD springs which are advertised as a 1.2" drop front and back. While the drop does remain equal it is closer to 2 inches down after many thousands of miles.
As far a city driving this drop is fine. Slow and angle speed bumps and steep driveways and it's fine. I've never bottomed the chassis (except for high carwash rails) with this set-up after ~85,000 kl. or ~54,000 miles.

Hmm... that makes me think maybe I should just go for a 1" drop. Then again, maybe its just the toyota springs that sink down that much.
