Micro Image lowering springs - Toyota Yaris Forums

eric81 · 10-25-2010, 06:18 PM

I bought a set of blue Micro Image springs to put on my Echo, and guess what...... they don't fit. SO, I am selling them for any reasonable offer. Yes, I can be hagled, and I will cover shipping to anyone, anywhere. Please let me know if anyone wants them. And if Garm is reading this, I will be looking for a set that fit my car in the next two months, along with that pulley kit. Thank you.

That's funny that they don't fit bcuz the ecko has the same suspension set up, to bad man sending PM

I would contact Garm before doing anything, he has taken good care of many of us and I think he'll try to resolve your problem if possible. I can honestly say he goes the extra mile to make sure his customers are happy, and we are grateful!

Cheers! M2

What is the lowest you'll take? I'll buy them Friday. I desperately need to swap out my drop zones. They're too low for me.

JBougie · 10-25-2010, 08:35 PM

I'd even send you my drop zones to see if they fit your echo - I wouldn't charge you for them, you could just have them to see if they work. It's a 1.75" drop in the rear, 1.5 in the front

Truthfully, if they don't fit the 2000 to 2005 Echo or the Scion XB gen 1, they won't work, so keep them and give them to someone local. I am only asking $100 for the springs. Garm has helped me out already, and I am truley thankful. He stopped me from making a $130 mistake on the underdrive pulley. I will pay for shipping, since I can do it at the company shipping price. Let me know if you want pics, but they are right out of the box new. Didn't even get them on the car. Had the front end disassembled, and the springs weren't even CLOSE to looking like they would fit, so back in the box they went. I plan on doing some step by step picture and instructions for my '03 Echo though. Everything I do from now on will involve a camera, with socket and wrench sizes, and easy to follow instructions. After the fiasco with taking my Echo springs and struts off (nothing like a Yaris) it will help both me and others in the future.

Okay... here is an update... I currently have a buyer and a back up buyer for these. The original buyer is supposed to come through on Friday, October 29th. The back up buyer will be hearing if he can buy them or not Fridat night. If both fall through, I will repost again and let everyone know. Again, I am only asking $100, and I am covering shipping. They are still in the original box, but they are out of the plastic sleeves (I had them set up for a nicely detailed install, sigh) but a LOT of the popcorn is still in there along with the original receipt.
