New suspension on my Yaris

Well, now; there's a lot of color going on underneath my Yaris, nowadays. I recently replaced my Megan Racing coilovers with Tokico HP shocks (aka "Blues") and Tein S-Tech springs. (FYI, I got them from Micro Image, which I highly recommend). So why the switch?

The Megan Racing coilover set is very stiff. In fact, it was too stiff after about a year-and-a-half's worth of street driving. Plus, I never adjusted the height, and very rarely adjusted the dampening. It kind of defeats the purpose of an adjustable coilover system, no? In addition, some of the paint had begun to flake off of the springs. Granted, some sanding and some paint would've remedied this, but it was time for a switch anyway.

The new setup rides a bit softer than the Megan coiloevers when they were on setting 8 of 32. The ride is less bouncy, too. And, on the street, the increased suspension travel allows the car to soak up the bumps better, offering a more controlled feel. The ride is still firm, but not as kidney-jarring as the Megans. It's definitely sporty, handles well, and a great street setup, especially with my TRD rear sway bar.
