Cliff Notes:
Cusco compact S is probably best value at the moment.
HKS is tops for track use.
Tein Basic is purely cosmetic.

I think the stock springs are 2.5K/2.2K At 4K in front, plus the drop (which "stiffens" even more the sway bar), the ride will be quite stiff, much more that the stock suspension... Tein is just fine for a a stiff street ride in addition to a quite improved handling...

1 set will be arriving end of october, if you'd like it i recommend ordering it now.

the only adjustable ones that i've seen are the hks. the cusco comp-s, zero-1, and tein basic are all non adjustable dampening.

the cusco has rather stiff rates compared to tein, i remember making a post somewhere around here regarding spring rates, i'll need to find it.

wow if we could do this then it would be great. maybe sometime over the upcoming weekend? Shoot me a pm, and let me know, I'd greatly appreciate it.

my suggestions if you want custom spring rates are as follows:
tanabe sells their pro210 springs, these are replacements for coilovers. all that needs to be determined is the diameter of the spring.
http://www.tanabe-usa.com/springs/pro210.asp

or you can really upgrade with a set of swift springs, you're looking at approximately the same price for both. around $90.00 each.

as for valving, you probably have a 1k-2k area to swing the spring rates.

Can you tell me how's the ride after the coilovers installed? Is it bouncy at all?

badhabitz · 10-01-2006, 03:19 PM

lets just say i was going to work and i had a cup of orange juice within 5 min i saw half of it spill out that really pissed me off so no more open drinks in the car but it doesnt bother me just go slow over bumps but when ur driving fast it doesnt even bother me

Mond'z · 10-01-2006, 10:08 PM

From what you said so the coilovers are too stiff or bouncy for you?

boris13 · 02-02-2007, 06:23 PM

I'm wondering: what are the major differences between the Cusco Compact-S coilovers and the Cusco Zero-1 coilovers? I see that the Zero-1 series is more expensive... just wondering if it is that much better. Also, does Cusco make a Zero-2 (adjustable dampening) application for the Yaris?

BulletProofAuto · 02-02-2007, 06:35 PM

the comp-s is their entry level. ride height adjustability is not independant of the spring, so when you change the ride height you are changing the load on the springs. the zero-1 are independant of the spring load when adjusting the height so it stays constant no matter the height. the damper is also a little better and the dampening is a little stiffer. iirc comp-s is a kyb damper and zero-1 is showa.

boris13 · 02-02-2007, 06:39 PM

OK, thanks for that info. The Zero-1 looks like a better setup, then. So I take it that there is no Zero-2 model available for the Yaris yet?
