Who said Yaris was slow?

Shocks upgrade???
I wonder?? Besides the expensive TRD shocks, is there any other option to upgrade OEM shocks when you're riding lowering springs? Tanabe DF's in my case.
Thanks for the info! |

From what I've been told and seen, there isn't a thing. Later this year, there will be many options.

Tein only makes the Tein Basics for the yaris. Cant adjust stiffness, only the height. So their EDFC wont work on our car.. But its still not too bad.. the coilovers are already pretty stiff.. if ur looking for stiffness that is..

i have the trd shocks and tanabae df210 and think the ride is good. i still wish we would have a little stiffer spring set up, but if you want a good daily driver set up with a sporty feel this is the way to go

What do want to do with your car? There are a few diferent options in the market. Do you want a lower ride? a stiffer ride? I see no point in replacing the shocks and leaving the stock springs. In my opinion you should start with the springs and then upgrade the shocks. Just by replacing the springs (even with OEM shocks) you will greatly improve the handling of your Yar. |

$330 is just for the shocks at that site, if I'm reading it right.

My apologies. I swear they were advertising the combo for $330 just last week.
Either way, I still stand by my statement. When considering just the lowering springs, think about those weak little stockie shocks. The dampening just isn't agressive enough to handle the decreased suspension travel. There should be some other stand alone absorbers on the market soon. Hopefully the prices will come down. |
