TRD lowering springs' and/or shocks' Ride Quality?? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Lafiro · 08-26-2006, 02:22 AM

Im getting a lot done tomorrow.

Im getting my TRD Sportivo lowering springs installed. HID's installed. And 2 12" subs installed in a custom made box.

And tuesday, im most likely going to get my rims/tires.

Wish me luck, I will post before and after pictures when I can!

we wish you well! definitely take some interior and exterior shots! curious how the subs integrate into the trunk, since they're not the largest trunks. oooh, and tell me about the ride with the new lowering springs!

I have the toyota standard lowering springs in my car, and for the most part I do like the difference it makes as far as handling is concerned. I have some pretty beat up roads in my area, and when I have more than myself in the car the ride can get REALLY bumpy. Just my opinion.

So far only my system is installed half-assed. For now anyway. As for the HID's they wont install them and I got no one to install them yet. And as for the springs, they want 5 hours = $445~ of labor to install the springs. I am going to do this in the early morning with them unless you people convince me otherwise. lol

DIY shouldn't be too bad. With Chris's help, you can save your $445 and buy him a beer.
