I have lowered my 2006 d4d using TTE springs. The ride is not great but not terrible either. The standards shocks don't seem quite up to the job but you only really notice this in hard cornering. The stance of the car is much better and FWIW they should they should be lower as standard.

What I need now is matched shocks and beefier anti-roll bars but it probably isn't worth it. Maybe best to save up and buy a better cAR!

Yeah sorry, my spacebar took a rest then! Tein!

All of the listed springs could go on a D4D, I think Im right in saying? Im sure the D4D suspension set up is the same as the rest of um? Contact the manufacturers for details!

You could look into the standard toyota accessory items....

The 2008 SR modela had lowered suspension as standard - so the springs from a 2008 SR d4d ought to do the job on your 2009 model....

i try not to go with toyota accessories because i think they are too expensive. For example they told me that TTE springs for my model would be 300 euros without installation. and i know that TTE are not the best springs money can buy (see TEIN, H&R) etc.

in the other hand if i want TTE springs, i can go for Eibach which are the same and i believe much cheaper

The TTE springs may be more £, but if Toyota are prepared to put them on the Yaris then there good enough, if you are looking for F1 handling, then save for the SR ...

As for fitting them, £20 in Halfords will get you some Spring Clamps, and if you have 2 hours to spare and 2 brain cells, then you can do it yourself.

The rears are a peice of cake, the fronts are not much harder.

where can i find a DIY guide to fit them my self?

Don;t forget to check your headlight alignment once you've changed the ride height.

unfortunately TEIN does not make springs for D4D model

here is the reply from an email i send them

Hi Andreas Thanks for your mail. The Yaris Diesel is not a target development car for Tein. This means that I cannot confirm if anything in our range will work with this car. You may need to try other manufacturers, or risk purchasing parts intended for the petrol equivalents. Please be aware that doing this means the risk will be yours and you may not be protected by manufacturers warranty. Kind regards

By the way - I found out yesterday that the standard "Toyota" lowered springs fitted to the 2008 SR models reduce the ride height by 40mm or 1.5 inches.

I had a TR loan car yesterday whilst my SR was in for service and couldn't believe how different it looked with so much space around the wheel arches - so I measured the ride height from the top of the wheel arch to the ground and then compared it with my 2008 SR when it came home...

The 2008 SR ride height is 40mm lower, front and back than a 2009 TR.

Not sure how much other aftermarket springs lower the height, but I was really surprised that the standard Toyota lowered springs made that much difference....
