Hi all.
After months of emailing i have finally found a company who can supply uprated and lowering springs for the turbo.
NEWERAPARTS.COM
They can import RSR SPRINGS direct from japan..front 30-35mm...rear 20-25mm,price including all taxes and shipping is
Coincidence!!
Weird that you just posted this...
I just received a reply from Tein Japan with a part number for local UK Tein to supply springs for YRV Turbo! Wonder which is the better option. The RSR is definitely going to look more aggresive, but would the drive quality be ok? Don't some of the members on here have Tein sets?? Opinions?
This email was passed back to UK.. see below:

Springs for YRV SKD10-S1B00 list price GBP200.00 + vat are

They lower the car -20mm front and -15mm rear.
To organise a special order, you will need to contact a Tein
dealer who can take the order.

They are also best placed to notify you of lead time as there are
a few options regarding delivery or fitting.

When funds permit I will drop it! I believe jon (jpor) has a set of teins on his. I too would like to know how the two sets compare.

Indeed I do.
I see someone has been paying attention to the mods I have on my car
The TEINS I have were a special order from Japaneazi.co.uk who sourced and imported them over from Japan, cost a pretty penny too. The fronts are lowered to 30MM and the rears to 35MM. The only issue after that is that getting newer alloys and tyres I got rubbing happening on the rear arches after going through dips and bumps, as well as now having to be a little careful when parking
should be a few pics of the car with them fitted with the new alloys under 'modifications'.
The official springs for the YRV turbo which used to be sold by the dealerships were Eibachs. I do beleive Daihatsu-Dave has a set of the 25mm ones. Not sure if he is selling them?
Best thing with the TEINS is that cornering is lot improved with less roll, so not sure what 25mm ones would be like.

Think i`ll do a bit more
Think i`ll do a bit more reserch into springs before parting with any money,as running bigger rims could cause problems like jon said..But having said that 25mm on the rear should be ok with 16" rims,had 8 bags of sugar at 20kg each in the rear and got no rubbing what so ever,so dave if your parting with your Eibachs let me know..:)
A always pay attention! Well
A always pay attention! Well most of the time anyway!
