I got hit once, so should have picked up on the cert thing
Found http://www.toyotaworld.com/ They list the TRD Shocks, and springs, looks like springs are 159, the shocks 304. Big difference from Honda, the HFP (honda factory performance) suspension was only sold initally in the HFP package (List at $4k though it included the front, side, rear skirts, spoiler, 17" alloy wheels, and the shocks/struts/coils that were "nuernberg" tuned ) |

This thread's question has probably already received confirmation already, but I just wanted to add that the springs are indeed Eibach springs.
The documentation with the springs were Eibach printed, and it came with a cheesy sticker too (RICE ON!). |

Sorry to dig this up, but it will be my next mod. And I just knew about this a few days ago.
I have a friend that works in Toyota here in Portugal, and he said that the springs are Eibach. So for me, there is no point in buying TRD (TTE) springs, you know why? Because in Europe everything is fuc**** expensive. They charge us 370$ (290€) for TRD springs. Eibach springs (the same ones I guess) will cost me about 230$ (180€). One thing it makes me confuse, is that Toyota says the TRD lowers -30mm, but Eibach says the pro-kit will lower -25mm |

Just so you know no dealer toyota honda etc manufacture thier own parts. They sublet it to a company and they make it and then they stick thier label on it. For example honda usses a lot of nissin parts. And it says honda on the box. But occasionally on the part you can see the stamp nissan. Infact if they havve problems with brake pads they will switch to a different brand. So you could buy 2 boxes of brake pads for the same car but a few years later it would be a different type cause they found out this other brand has less combacks.
I had a customer in my shop once that didnt belive me they wanted only OEM parts. So i orderd a master cylinder from napa auto parts and a master cylinder from worldpack which is a oem cylinder that says honda all over th ebox. ANd took them both out. Identical in every way and both said nissin on them. Just one napa put thier name on and one honda put thiers on. So i told the customer if you want you can have this one because it comes with a pretty box but its 30 percent more expensive. I warrenty both parts for 1 year reguardless

and to clearify something... honda does NOT have mugen... its a company that makes Honda parts but you cant go into a honda dealer and ask for mugen parts... nismo on the other hand IS a nissan company like TRD. there for you can go to a nissan dealer and order nismo parts.

My TRD springs came for the US.
Eibach advertise a 1" drop. TRD advertise a 1.25" drop. Mine have settled in at approx. a 1.5" drop. Eibach may make TRD springs but that doesn't necessarily mean they are the same spec. And likely aren't. For what it's worth, the photo on Toyota Canada's 2008 Yaris option/accessory webpage clearly showed springs marked "Eibach". Of course the price was totally outrageous.

Is this a good price for TRD
I went to Sparkstoyota.com to look at Full TRD Suspension which includes everything shocks, springs and rear sway bar = price is $787.00 which includes shipping. Is that a good price? Or has anyone know of better. And does any one know a ballpark on price to get it installed. I looking to do this soon maybe christmas time. This is for my car to improve the ride. My husband's is staying stock.

Go Eibach Pro-Kit if you are not after aggressive lowering. Am pretty happy with the results on the Yaris, MBenz and Smart....yes, they all have Eibach Pro-Kits installed. Ordered the springs from Tire Rack.

Sparks prices are very competitive. I bought mine from Conicelli. It was a bit cheaper after adding the 15% discount code. http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...subcat2=101278 Oh, and "improve the ride" is subject to interpretation. The full TRD system will make your ride quite brisk. I consider it an improved ride because I can now rail the turns. Others don't care for the bone jarring hits. You'll know every crack in the road along your commute before long. For me, avoiding those bumps is part of the fun.

I have Eibach springs on my own dd (Mazda Protege) and love them. I am going to install a set on the Yaris too,
in the spring. PM me for a price, if you're interested. |
