Lowering Springs Tte?

[dannyb999]

how much would u say a set of lowering springs from tte would be? are they easy to fit etc? whats involved? ive read they will lower my car about 30mm, is this alot? i ahve the sr type 15" alloys and my car is the colour collection pre-facelift model. i know nothign about suspension at all, is this really worth doing?

cheers

TTE springs are just re-badged Eibach springs so if u can fine Eibachs cheaper get them! I think ur better 2 get a garage to fit them cos its quite complicated and 30mm is 3cm so just take a look at a ruler!

I'm goin 4 Koni dampers and GMAX springs btw!

Cheers

cheers ryan.. do i need dampers too? i really have no idea lol. anyone know where to get these Eibach springs from then? or can reccomend any others?

also, anyone got pics of a yaris on 15" alloys lowered 30mm?

i think i'd need it lower, but would be good to see some pics if anyones got any

[Ryan1985]

Well if u want to adjust ur damping rate (make them super hard or soft) u need dampers! And eventually if u put springs on standard dampers u will f**k ur standard dampers and will need new 1's anyway!

I've been quoted £560 for the koni's and the GMAX springs fitted so its quite expensive! This will drop my car 60mm.

If ur gonna sell ur car in a year or 2 go 4 it!

If you click on my TOC garage below, you'll see pics of my car on 15" O.Z.s and TTE springs...

Ryan, envyperformance will blow that price into the weeds! Knock £150 off and you're almost down to what I paid for a full set of Koni adjustables with Koni springs!

[dannyb999]

so not a good idea just to use the tte lowering springs without dampers??

is it worth gettin lowering springs tho for now? whas a good price for the tte ones? or similar kind?

[mytbyte]

I think TTE (Eibach) springs don't require the shocks to be replaced unless the lowering is more then 30mm...at least on the Corolla...

dannyb,

tte springs dont need shocks changing on the yaris work perfect &

the rides great, also tte springs brought from dealer will not effect your

warranty cos they are toyotas own parts,

tte springs are made by Eibach but are slightly different made to tte

specifacation

Do i understand right?

Koni dampers will lower yaris more when you put them and as in example GMAX lowering springs.?

I have at this moment GMAX lowering springs and i'm really satisfied with them but back of the car is still upper than front of the car.. :(

Thanks for help guys!

Yes T-MAx i think the Koni shocks are about 15-20mm shorter than the Toyota shocks!

:hokus-pokus:

The only difference in specification between the TTE and Eibach Pro-Kit springs is the name printed on them...

They are the exact same springs.

You can use them with your stock dampers. Most people do.

But of course.... a set of Konis (or other shortened dampers) would make the ride even better.

ts flea ref tte name,

i was only quote'n what tte germany told me & after a quick

call to Eibach to check if they was telling me the truth they told

me the same

but saying that i got em at a very good price its nice having a mate

who works at toyota

[dannyb999]

how much do they cost kimi? if u dont mind me asking?

[kimi]

no problem danny,

they were £129+vat but i got em for £100 & six cans of lager

to get em fitted :D

ive got the part number off tte to give to dealers if you ever want em.

Here are the replies I received from TTE and Eibach respectively regarding my question about spring rates for the Yaris.

Dear Mr. xxxxx xxxxxx,

the spring rates for the Toyota Yaris Pro-Kit 82 60 40 are:

front C = 20,5 N/mm

rear C = 18 N/mm

Best regards i. A. Manfred Brings mbrings@eibach.de

Dear Mr. xxxxxx,

Spring rates are as follows: 18 N/mm rear 20,5 N/mm front

Kind regards, Florian Bachus Florian.Bachus@toyota-f1.com

Coincidence? I think not.

Before putting the Eibachs on my car, I had the chance to compare them side by side to their TTE counterparts. They match. Only the Badge differs.

My 0,02 $ ;)

well it seems like the tte and Eibach are the same but they wont

admit it! as my mate says(service manager at toyota) if something

goes wrong with Eibach springs fitted toyota can refuse to repair it,

where as tte are a recomended toyota part toyota would have no

problem repairing car under warranty.

now thats my 2peneth worth ;) :P
