First I wanted 1inch. Now I might want 2inches.

That's what she said...



Anyways i'm looking for some springs for my '06 Yaris liftback. Right now my rims are 17" and the rubber is 205/40/R17

I'd really like to close the wheel well gap for a nice clean look. I'm not sure how noticeable a 1inch drop will be. If I go with a 2inch drop, would I potentially have any rubbing issues?
Also not sure how the drop will affect the ride, are drops significantly stiffer and more uncomfortable?

I'm inexperienced with this stuff, so any input would help me out a great deal. Thanks a lot!

for that low profile tire you need a coilover.. maybe its just me but low profile requires as minimal well gap..otherwise they look awkward...but thats just me..

I always refer people to this thread which I started when I was in the same situation: Need a "Mild" Drop

^^toy toronto, great thread! Thanks so much for sharing that with me. Your ride looks great! I think I may go with 1" or something like 1.3"
