[T sport 03]

Hey !

have recently got the 17s on the yaris and now want to lower her. however im not sure how to go about this and im not sure how much to lower her by,

I no i need lowering springs but what are shocks and dampers?

Thanks

Lots of different options - a lot of people lwer with just springs and stay with the standard suspension.

Others go for Konis - to give height adjustment, but no dampening.

Then you have dampening and height adjustment - through Tein Coilovers or similars ...

It all comes down to what you need or want to spend ?

Cheers for the reply

Erm i want to change the springs and the suspension ideally, adjustible suspension would be good. what are dampers?

Cheers

Ok - you have height and ride stiffness (damping).

Obviously the lower the car the less body roll and clearance, then the stiffness affects ride quality and in turn how the car handles ...

Have a look at the likes of Kimis garage to see examples... also be prepared to put your hand in your pocket

"Damper" is just another term for "shock absorber".

when lowering tho, be preparefd to have to mak some arch modifications, you wont be able to lower much withought so, the yaris has had 17 dropped 60 mm, with serious arch work, if your able to put time effort and cash into it, id say drop her 60 aswell, but for lless effort but a still good looking rider 40s a good option! best option is just find quotes for arch rolling etc

Yeh will do that, just had a look at some tein coilovers. quite pricey but been saving up for quite i while now.

Will enquire about some arch rolling

stop!!! ur killing me

i believe envy are currently producing their own coilovers, which will be around the £500 possibly, sure i read that, but ill stand corrected if wrong, maybe a fews yet as kevin has to put them through their paces and test them out but maybe worthwhile waiting if interested in some decent suspension..
