2007 Yaris - Bayou blue - Eibachs & 17s

[Carvin'07 Yaris]

Here is my new baby. We picked her up on July 5th and the mild mods began. I had it dropped on the TRD/Eibach springs and then put in the rims.

The rims are Konig Kolors powdercoated in graphite, tires are Kumho Ecsta MX 205/40/YR17s.

The handling is unbelieveable. The turn in is almost instant and it just sticks sticks sticks. If you really head fast into a turn and jab the brakes, you will be able to get a little oversteer out of it, but the limits are very high now on these tires, so I will save the fun driving for the autoX course!

Cheers

STOCK HEIGHT:



LOWERED:

Height still looks about the same...... (to me)


But good for you, nice little car....

[WhiteRabbit]

yea, the drop isnt very noticable, maybe once it settles some more

but that looks like a fun car to drive

[Carvin'07 Yaris]

Thanks, it is VERY fun to drive. Not fast by any means -- but we bought it because it was better on gas (by about 4 times) than my talon was.

At the front the drop is more noticeable, but less so at the back. The springs at the back are only about 8" long stock, so there isn't much room to move back there. The ride is definitely changed.

Plus, that edge of the driveway slants towards the grass, so the right side doesn't look as low.

Nice, what's the spec on the rim? offset, etc ... Got the convince my bro to lower his 07 sedan, I'm sure it will look quite nice.

Hey T2000

17x7 +42mm - I got them for 170 each including balancing, locks and install (but not including tires).

that looks really cool

Nice, I love those little cars.

[MrJones]

does look lowered but not by much

[Carvin'07 Yaris]

So far we have been really happy with it. The little 1NZFE has a really decent amount of torque considering its tiny displacement (only 1.5 litres). I love the styling too.

dna59 - you have a spyder? NA or turbo?

[dna59]

^^Sadly NA, but I still love her nonetheless.

[DAMON]

wow that thing is hot! ill bet you could make that thing pretty quick itd be a sick sleeper

[nodrogkam]

once the springs settle it'll be even lower, but at least you didnt slam it to the ground making it practically useless!

enjoy the car!

[jhbhatia]
