Not sure - Toyota Yaris Forums

I have a 2007 Yaris S sedan 5 speed 140k miles

Okay I have been reading for hours my eye balls hurt there is to much info on springs.

First issue:
My rear is making squeaking and rattling noises. I have a suspicion that the rubber stoppers(coil spring insulators) have been rubbed through is that possible? I have replaced my shocks with Gabriel G51783 about 50k miles ago. Should I replace with something else. Other than the noises the ride is fine no continuous bounce and no sag without load. Nothing else has been replaced as far as suspension goes.

Next issue:
I am driving for uber as an income and I want fat people to sit in my back seat and not sag my car down. For example I had a fat person in the back seat and I went off a curb and I bottomed out and it ripped my right rear bumper off

....It snaps back on but shit I do not want that to happen again!

So I was thinking of putting Megan racing honda fit 08 lowering springs on for more umph but not higher or lower ride heigth? What do you think?

By the way I do not want to spend $600 bucks I'm thinking more around $150-200.

I am sure what I am looking for is on here but I have searched and read and read and read

and still have no idea what I should do to keep OEM height but have more load capability.
