Yaris shocks and springs?

[MightyMirageMpg]

Does the Yaris have progressive springs in the front? Also why would a progressive spring not work on the Mirage?

I don't know what's factory for that car but the picture (your link) shows 4x progressive springs.

The front springs on a mirage need too have the last link spaced off a little bit because how the spring fits on the end, but a progressive wrap has the "easy/squishy" end more tightly wrapped together, so there's more coil per vertical inch, so there's less space between the wraps.

My concern would be the spring would sit incorrectly and not rest how and where it's designed to, solely because of the tighter wrap, and cause damage to the strut, and eventual catostrophic failure.

It also could just simply be the wrong diameter.

It could also fit and work great.. ya know?

The pictures that the brand shows on amazon are just generic pics that they use for a bunch of cars. Here is a front strut for a 2013 Yaris on Ebay. It looks pretty similar to the Mirage.

Wanted to bump this thread...

Hhas anyone found stiffer front springs from other vehicles that didn't alter ride height too much?

For anybody interested, currently I own a Scion iQ, and TRD springs are dirt cheap for the iQ since it was discontinued as well as Scion being discontinued. They use pretty much an exact suspension to the Yaris with an exception of the upper tie rod steering arms on the struts, and are much closer in weight to the Mirage at 2100lbs. Just a comment for anybody interested.

P.S. - I'm looking at the Mirage for a number of reasons, but mostly to carry a baby soon.

Bump again. OP did you ever put the Yaris shocks on the back of your car?

Most of the thread is about this. They work very well.

We know that the springs work well but never got confirmation or pics showing the Yaris shocks.

Ah yes, I confused the words. My bad.
