I put the TRD strut/shocks in with the TRD springs so never experience the springs alone.
Because;

1) Stock dampers aren't designed for higher rate springs. I laugh out loud at the ricers going down the highway bouncing like a pogo stick. Slammed down on stock dampers.

2) There is too much time & skinned knuckles required to swap out the suspension in my driveway. I'd regret doing it all twice because I was 'too cheap' to invest in competent hi-po shocks/struts from the beginning.

Of course, if you have a thick wallet and pay someone else to do the dirty work you may want to give it a try. Your choice.

I agree and know what you mean. But I am not gonna spend this type of cash on the Yaris. I have a proper setup on my Acura EL, but the Yaris, is on lease, so if anythin happens, I'll just swap the stockers back in. The car is finally fully done and rides just like stock
