dropped base matrix. 09

[aznsportcar]

don't know if anyone ever reads this forum but anyways, dropped my matrix again with tein stech springs from a 03+ corolla. (this works with S as well, but not XRS)

took off my Progress springs, and installed these tein stech! got on road first thing i noticed is that car is more bouncy, and obviously lower.. Progress springs are definately stiffer.

heres some pics ::



front drop ::


back drop ::


wheel gaps:: front


wheel gaps:: back



should really wash car. but it's been dark and rainy few days so yea.. oh well. heres overall result :: i like a lot!


looks really nice in person.


compared to PROGRESS SPORT SPRINGS::

i have a 2010 toyota matrix and i was thinking about dropping my car how is the difficulty on the dropping do you have to get it done at a garage or something?? and would the part fit with the 2010 matrix???

[aznsportcar]

it depends on how comfortable you feel about fixing your car. for my first time, it took me about 4-5 hours to change all 4 springs at my friend's house in the garage. all you need is spring compressor, socket wrenches, jack, jackstands, allen wrench, etc the basic stuff in a garage.

and my springs fit only the base models and S models. XRS have different suspension in rear. 2009 and 2010 are same.

i have a base model 2010 matrix so that would spring woudl fit my car right??

[azntigz]

how much was it?

[aznsportcar]

yes it should fit. any of the corolla springs 03-10 should fit.. not springs from the xrs though..

and i got them for 155 shipped.


my back end has settled more i think..it's lower than front

its about like this:: but rear might be a lil higher due to uneven ground (my rear is on sidewalk)



took this picture yesterday after a car wash.
