Racland Coilovers for Yaris
Hey guys, I just got off the phone with Raceland and they confirm that the Yaris coilvers are out now. I just ordered a set and will be installing them as soon as I get them. I'm also with the Miata community and I have only heard only good things about there Coilover kits. At $329, why not give them a try. The kit does say Scion 1 Gen XB/Yaris but like the tech said it will fit. The front spring rate is 275, rear are Progressive Rate Springs. They have already test fitted on a Yaris LB and the coilovers and rear springs have the exzact mounting points as the 1 Gen XB. Raceland has assured me that it will deffinitly fit. The only issue is these were made for a 3000 lb vehicle so ride qualitiy might be a little different. Racelands said if you don't like the ride, return them. If for some odd reason they don't fit, they will take it back within 30 days. There customer service is second to none.

xB and Yaris are not compatible. The springs alone aren't the same. They are saying the same kit is designed for both a 3026 lb vehicle and a 2250 lb vehicle?
Will be interesting to see how it goes. Note: the shocks are not adjustable. Did they tell you the spring rates?

Curious about the spring rates here also.
Need some stiffer coilovers for my car with the Wide/low offset wheels and wanting to go low. Angela |

Hate these or like them. I'm gonna give them a chance. I just wanna go a little lower than 1.8 inches. Yes, I can afford $1,500 coilovers but I couldn't resist the price and reviews from other car owners. Deep for cheap is cool with me for right now.

I just purchase my coilovers at 10AM this morning and they just emailed me at 1PM with my tracking number. These guys are really good with customer service and there tech will answer any question about there products. If you guys are not too sure about the Coilovers give them a call and ask away.

Only Happy When it Rains

for the price they are definitely worth trying. You can't get good aftermarket shocks & springs for that price.
Let us know how they drive.

Maybe the data I got was for the 2nd gen. Makes more sense, at least.
