stock ride height or spring sag?
I bought my yaris in November of last year and being one of only a few of them Ive actually seen in the area Ive never had a chance to really have a close look at another one.
This past november a coworker bought a HB, 2007 model year obviously. He now parks right beside me and I just noticed my HB rides about 1.5" lower than his. I didnt get any spring upgrade on mine so Im curious why it rides lower, couldnt be sagging / settling springs already could it? Anyone else notice a difference? I guess this would be more applicable to canadians and those overseas but anybody park beside another yaris and notice any differences?

Dont you have a big-ish system in the back of yours?
Is he also in 14" wheels, or 15's? |

hes on 14's as well, the system in the hatch is around 60lbs +/- . If that is the reason for the ride height the Yaris does an excellent job of weight distribution from front to back.

Yes, one can see a difference if the car is not on a horizontal surface.
