I'm thinking about buyin these lowering springs, but am not sure if they will fit my yaris :S? i'm driving a yaris sr 1.8

HELP!

To my knowledge the springs on all petrol Yaris are the same. There are different ones for the diesel. I've got the H&R 30mm lowering springs and they are identical for the 1.0, 1.3 and 1.8 engines.

Yes Sir it will fit ur car just like it would fit the sedan

^H&R's are good. They would've been my other choice. But I chose Progress springs installed as of last week and I can tell you the ride is nice and stiff, almost as if the struts have been upgraded too. The reason I got those instead of DFs is to avoid the excessive drop and body roll and bounciness, which could result in bottoming-out over speed bumps and dips. Plus the rear springs on DFs have been known to cause rear-end sag over time. Progress is definitely giving me the optimal spring rate I need to keep the car's body stable around the track, if that's what you're looking for.

I'll be buyin alloys&tyres next ! which size/tyre would go good with the H&R springs ?

I'll take a look at the progress springs thanks m8 !!

constantin · 02-07-2010, 04:34 PM

Let me start by saying that on my TS the H&R drop was very small. Barely noticeable. If you can, go for the DF210.

As for the tyres and wheels ... I went for 7jx17 with the original tyres. If you want you can try the wider 215/40/R17 but I think the original dimension is the best.

colinr5779 · 02-07-2010, 06:06 PM

Does any1 have a before and after picture with H&R springs ? Im not gonna buy them if its barely noticeable :|

I have DF210 on my yaris, im tired of mines, feels to soft. I'm leaning towards Teins now.

If you want to go low and have great handling and a good feel save your money for a nice set of coilovers....

constantin · 02-08-2010, 05:05 AM
