The final test for the 5-Door Yaris was a spring test for the Tanabe NF210 Spring. Fitment was just fine.

And this was the ride height that resulted. The NF210 Spring gives the car a slight drop (not as low as the DF210 Springs) and retains comfortable ride qualities.

Toyota Yaris 5-Door - Sustec Pro S-0C Coilovers (Tallest Setting)

by Tanabe USA 5. November 2009 21:45

Earlier, we installed the Sustec Pro S-0C Coilovers at their lowest setting. Now, it was time to measure the height at the tallest setting. This way, we could collect data for the total available height adjustment range.

And so, the total adjustment range was noted, which ended testing for this Sustec Pro S-0C coilover. Notice that the front height appears to be taller than the rear. It's been decided that the height range of the coilover will be tuned in order to establish an even height balance when set to the tallest setting on all 4 coilovers.
