trd suspension
Hi,
I am about to order the trd springs and shocks from trdsparks. Any one have this set up? I was concerned about the springs as my local dealer tells me trd springs are either white, black or blue. I want trd set up to keep my warranty four more years 2 go. |

It is exccellent and troible free. It really improves the handling and drops the carand makes it look good. Be sure to get the antiswaybar too. Shop different dealers as priciing for installation varies greatly.

Might check Conecelli Toyota.I paid much less, though i haven't a clue about the cost I do believe they ship overseas. (They ship free over a certain price in the US)

shipping is crazy to austrailia
was 100 to ship that fujita intake i had...and it weighed like 7lbs for the package might be able to save some dough just buying tockico blues and some other, non-trd springs though....

So to me that means if you still have 30,000 miles on your warranty, and you get springs and shocks installed at the dealer, its covered for 30,000 miles. If you don't get it done at the dealer, it will only be covered for 12 months or 12,000 miles. If you have no warranty, or less than 12,000 miles left on your warranty, it really doesn't matter who installs it. I don't know if Australia is exactly the same, but it should be. |

Conecelli Toyota is a bit more expensive on their products then us and we have some great rates running through FedEx now. We got you the best deal you could possibly get for TRD springs and shocks.

if its $1000 for trd suspension. you may aswell pay extra to get coilovers..
You will most likely to void your warranty on your suspension department, regardless if its TRD products you are putting in. |

1) Springs 2) Shocks Springs change where your ride sits and shocks help absorb just that, shocks or sudden impacts to the suspension. From what I understand, coilovers are a two-in-one setup and contain springs and shocks. If you don't choose coilovers, you'll need to get springs AND shocks separate, hence why cali yaris linked prices for tokico blues (shocks) and the springs together because you'd need to buy both to get a full suspension replacement. |

you can run and lowering springs on stock shocks/struts (technically the yaris has struts up front w/ coil-over springs and springs and shocks in the back (as theyre separate))
