Ice Or Suspension

[ytsport]

wat shud i go for ice or suspension??

i love to have both but cant afford it so i can only choose one.

wat wud u guys/gals recommend? ;)

well its up to you at the end of the day - everyone will have their own opinions, but it all depends really - how much u looking to spend? which can u put up with the longest!? bad sound system or shocking ride height and handling

And when you say you can only afford to do one, do you mean properly? As in if your talking like either getting Coilovers or a full ice install then you could always just fit like cheap TTE springs off eBay, get a few OMP strutbraces from strutbracer, Update the HU and then change front Speakers and add 6x9's! I reckong you could get all that (not including fitting) for under £500. Fit it yourself and bobs your uncle :D

If your on a tighter budget, the suspension choice could be cheap TTE lowering springs off eBay (around £60?) Then just one strutbrace off strutbracer (around £40?).

And for the ICE, a Pioneer MP3 HU (loads on sale this time of year so prob under £100!), some 6*9's at like £50, fronts at like £50 etc.

I would personally recomend only doing little things to it all unless you plan to keep it for a good long time or to spend lots more money in the future. Otherwise you may end up with a acoustic heaven that cant turn corners or a nippy gokart that distorts your music when you even attempt to crank up the volume!

Its down to what you prefer!

Suspension defo, since i changed it the car has become a lot more fun to drive

Can I ask what you have done to your suspension to improve matters. Like you seem to imply, poor handling would irritate me more than poor sounds, I would say, although they aren't such a bad handling car are they? Get my T2 in the week.

I've never had a problem with the handling on the standard height of the P2 Yarii - wait and see how you find it is my advice, you might disagree - everyone has different opinions

If I had to choose over ICE or suspension I would say ICE as the Speakers in the Yaris aren't brilliant..yeah they do their job but that would be a good place to start.
