I'm using the Megan springs and my front tires rub sometimes. Some hard bumps hit really hard!

Shouldn't have cut the bumpstops! Mine Megans have never bottomed.

Lowering will give you a rougher ride. So keep that in mind. I like the look better so the ride quality really doesn't bother me.

What about bottoming out on speed bumps? Is it bad?

I have the NFs and 17s on mine and I don't notice much bottoming out unless its a pretty heavy bump.

I had pro-kit on my last car (civic) and I'd highly recommend those springs for street use. When I finally get around to putting springs on my Yaris, I'll pick the cheaper of the two, Tanbe vs Pro-Kit.
