Eibach prokit before and after - Toyota Yaris Forums

jRoss · 08-06-2013, 08:27 PM

I like them so far, rides good. Install wasn't too hard. The top strut bolts were a pain but this is my first suspension job and I got it done in about 3 hours.

I think my car is coming along nicely. Let me know what you think.

Nice moderate drop. I just installed the TRD rear swaybar(amazing) and the Eibach Pro-kit is going to be my next upgrade. Do you have a swaybar? If you do, how would you describe the ride characteristics after installing the Pro-Kit ?

coming along nicely. Hope they settle a bit more.

modest drop. would almost fool some folks into thinking that you are not even lowered. i wish that my spring install would have been as easy. for my ride being only 3 years old it was a serious b!tch. the lower retaining bolts on my rear shocks were frozen HARD so it to a lot of heat and manipulation to get them to free up.

That looks GREAT.

YotaYaris · 08-12-2013, 03:06 PM

Looks Good and I am glad that you like them : )

Needs moar lower! xD

jRoss · 08-31-2013, 05:57 AM

Thanks for all the love! I'd like to get tokicos and a sway bar next, maybe maybe exhaust. All in good time tho, I think this car is coming along nicely. I just got some pretty mean eyelids on eBay, check um.

Ride is very similar to stock, may be able to take wide corners a bit faster. It is quite bouncy but I kinda enjoy it haha.

Tedtalker · 08-31-2013, 11:11 PM

jRoss, do you have a rear sway-bar? What do you mean by bouncy? Are your shocks worn out ?

I am looking to get either the Pro-Kit or a set of Vogtlands. Thanks in advance for answers to my questions.

jRoss · 09-02-2013, 04:08 AM

Nope, no sway bar, just springs. I plan to get one eventually tho. Idk how to explain the bounce, it's just like when you normally hit a bump, you can just feel it more. I believe it's normal, my shocks are fine for now.

I would highly recommend the Pro Kits to any yaris owner.

Tedtalker · 09-02-2013, 02:17 PM

Yep, you have new springs but no rear sway-bar. I have a new sway-bar but no new springs. Looks like we both have to get with the program now.

thebarber · 09-03-2013, 10:01 PM

I have tein basic coilovers (fronts only) for sale to bring that front wheel gap under control... ;)

jRoss · 09-06-2013, 07:40 AM

That's okay, I like it where it's at. I scrape enough already on these terrible Indianapolis roads haha

I fully plan on putting a lot of money into this car but it will take time. I have bills and the payment. I'm happy with my setup for now.

Here is a new pic tho, freshly washed. I took the eyelids off to repaint.

1/2 inch drive wrench and a cheater bar or hammer. You can loosen or break any bolt with the right tools. I have been working on bikes for years, cars are kinda easy haha
