No cutting coils here lol. Does anyone have a decent verus picture the picture on the Tein site has like 18's on it. Is there a picture of Tein on stock wheels or something? The Tanabe's looked like they tucked in this picture.

Cutting coils effects the spring rate....makes it harsher/stiffer for the same amount of travel. Think of your spring as a torsion bar....if you straightened it out and tried to twist it, (usng the same diameter rod) the longer the rod the easier it is to twist, shortening increases the force required to twist to the same degree of movement.

I know Ric N Sov has them check his garage, or check out the GTA meet pictures from Jun. I think there are some pics there!

Damn I dunno why the Tananbe's look lower then Teins

uncleyaris · 08-16-2007, 11:38 PM

There not on a stock set up!! 1.9 is the max i've seen!

For myself, I dropped my Yaris with 1,3" Apex and it's not as low as I wanted. Next summer, I'll buy TEIN coilover kit. Do not cut anything.

YarisFan007 · 08-20-2007, 05:08 PM

Has anyone installed Dampers on their Yari yet? I want to drop my Yari but also want the ability to adjust the ride height for daily commute and for highway runs.
Anybody recommend a particular brand? I was thinking of getting TEIN's Dampers.

YarisFan007 · 08-20-2007, 05:12 PM

...Actually, i might be talking about Coilovers instead of Dampers..... but which ever is used to adjust the height. : )

*Chris07LB* · 08-20-2007, 05:15 PM

Few members here have them..

Megan, Cusco, Tein, etc...

Do a search on "coilovers" and you should see quite a bit.
