Lowering

[armoredfist2002]

I'm thinking of lowering my car in the new year, with just springs at the moment, how low can I lower my car with just springs, as I thought I read somewhere if you lower your car more than 30mm you have to use dampers/shocks as well as springs as the standard dampers will not allow more than 30mm.

Does anyone know more about this, as I don't want to buy just springs and then find out I have to buy dampers.

Also I have seen a koni ajustable suspension kit that lowers a car upto 35mm, does it just lower in the back, or will the kit lower 35mm in the front, as I only require a 35mm drop at the rear.

the car is a phase 2 2004 if this makes any difference to what I can do

thanx

If you get -30mm TTE springs you will not need new dampers! Infact if you get any springs you shouldn't need new dampers!

I would recommend TTE or Eibach though!

what about the price?

My mate in the Parts Dept reckons that Toyota do a kit, it's around £100 and lowers the plot by just over an inch.

I have a set of H&R springs they are amazing. Drops the car down to 35mm.Also increases the handling.Would recomend it to anyone who owns a Yaris.

PI springs £90 -40mm HUGE improvement on handling

Do any of these springs fit the phase 2 2004 models

[Ryan1985]

Yes all of them, just make sure you get a non T-Sport set!

yeah get the tte ones, they are a toyota part so you will still have your

warranty

Thinking about lowering my Yaris aswell - whats a good amount to lower it by, with absolutely no chance of scraping going over speed bumps etc?

Also, is the £100 the price of the springs from Toyota and could i get someone else to fit them?

Cheers.

30mm's probably a big enough drop to make it look good and yeah just buy the springs off Toyota and get some else to fit them, its dead easy!

What Springs are on an SR? I Think they're 20mm TTE ones, but im not sure! I fancy another 10/15mm drop, so i guess i might pay toyota a visit for some lower dropping ones! Also, if i lower it... will the ride be much harder?

I was told I could do any mods to my car without voiding the warranty (except drilling holes for a spoiler as this voids your paint warranty)

[kimi]

any mods you do must be done with toyota parts and usually

by toyota too, to keep the toyota warranty up.

if a shocker was to leak with a none toyota spring the first thing

they would blame is that.

same goes if you put bigger wider wheels on if a bearing goes guess

what theyd blame!

same goes for most mods exhausts,air induction kits,lights...

i work at a dealers we will try anything not to pay out on warranty

work if its been modded!!
