lol if your going with a small drop.....like 1.2 inches (example the nf kit) you wont have any problems......i mean if your slamming it 2 1/2 and seriously throwing off geometry then you may want to worry but our cars wont allow that much of a drop anyway.....

the lowering of the car may cause premature wearing of the stock struts and shocks, depending on how low you go......it may it may not, just depends on terrain and things like that....but we all know what were getting into with that, and make sure your friend knows as well.......after they go just throw on a nice pair of aftermarket struts and shocks and ull be good 2 go.....

i think the Tein's drop the sedan at least 2 inches. i don't really mind about the struts and shocks, sooner or later they have to be replaced anyway.

oh, lol...i said my friend to the dealer so that i didn't have to say, "i want to lower my Yaris..." lol...sorry about the confusion.

07typeS · 02-07-2007, 06:36 PM

lol...it's cool...yeah, i would like to get a set of rims, but i need to do tint first. it gets unbearably hot here in Sac. also, seeing that i commute a crap load of miles

i need to find some nice lookin', light weight rims. i really like the rims that you just got, how much are they and do you know how heavy they are?

07typeS · 02-07-2007, 08:29 PM

El Jefe · 02-07-2007, 08:42 PM

nice dude, alot like my s but i need wheels bad!
in your honest opinion did the 17's make it ride any worse? every experience i've had with a small light car and putting 17's on it made it ride and track like shit, this is my commuter and im not gonna have it riding like crap just for looks, i'll put my stock tires on some nice 15's for comfort, but 17's just look sooo much better

hey kaotic, i can lower your car for you so you don't have to have a shop to it if your interested.

really? i was going to ask a friend to help me out...but since he will most likely be busy (he's graduating as an engineering major in Davis), i might just need your help. can you PM me details?

07typeS · 02-07-2007, 08:48 PM

didnt make it ride a lot worse....little noisier which is expected from a lower profile tire than stock......as far as bumps and things like that, it isnt too noticable that im on 17's......the 45 series tire is perfect...

i do have a little issue with rubbing, but im getting that worked out......

you wouldnt happen to know if there is a different between the left and right front springs do you? it seems my driver side dropped a little more than my passenger side did.....what im thinkin is they made one side have a little more of a firm spring rate, maybe to accomodate a driver always being in it.

if anyone can help me on that id appreciate it

oh and the rub is only on serious bumps like on the freeway that i dont notice...some firmer springs would take care of the problem, so would trimming the inner fender a little....or thinner tires.......

a lot of people roll the inner fenders with a round hammer or baseball bat.

don't let it rub too much tho. you can even do a DIY guide. hehe.

El Jefe · 02-07-2007, 08:55 PM

mine front springs were identical, same part numbers and everything, that sucks about the rubbing tho, and i agree these springs are pretty soft but thats ok with me

where did you get your Yaris tinted? i was think about having mine tinted at Eclipse over at Auburn and Greenback. oh, i haven't seen your S here in Sac??? then again, the only other S i see here is a light silver one in Sac State. the rest are liftbacks and base sedans.

lol...yeah, i took my emblems off a while ago too. which ARC do you go to, the Natomas Center, or the one off of Madison? how much did you pay for the tint and what's the quality like? i may need your help once i buy the Tein springs, what's your schedule like within the next 3 months or so?
