xD on Yaris coilovers
#5
Approx curb weight of the Yaris is 2,321 and the xD is approx 3,086. Way too different. The Yaris springs would sit too low, have too much pre-load tension on up-travel, and would wear out and sag prematurley(sp). I would not do this. Maybe invest in a coil-over kit designed specificly for the xD. A much more sound idea IMO.

Part numbers for the Tein Basic Coilovers, are the same for the xD and for the Yaris. Tanabe springs are also the same part number, both DF's & NF's
That means that the xD currently has a LOT of suspension/coilovers/springs options available.

same thing with the tein basic dampers, part number for the yaris is the same for the xD, DSC10-LUAS2. even the part number for the springs that come with the kit are the same, front and rear, S8L70-11040 and S6L71-01031, respectively.
so am gonna go out on a limb here and say that xD springs ARE yaris springs...
see for yourself:

Hrm the chassis of the Yaris and xD are the same, so theoretically parts should work on either vehcile. The rear sway for the xD said Yaris on the box when I got mine. The Tanabe springs are the same for the Yaris as well. Though I could be careful getting other parts and swaping them on the xD.

please justify that.
I mean that stock shocks are not valved for a higher spring rate that would of course ruin the shock prematurely. replacing shocks when upgrading springs SHOULD be a no brainer. My wifes tC is still on stock shocks with white TRD springs. I can tell the shocks can't keep up with the springs. the car understeers horribly when pushed. The xD needs a rear sway bar badly. It doesn;t know if it should turn or not when pushed. But I guess only people that have done this correctly in the past would know. last car was all suspension and little engine work. Still made for a quick car in the twisties which was fun messin with more powerful cars.
