How much can you drop the Yaris from stock without moving into that territory?

I've no particular attachment to the hub caps. I wouldn't be averse to fancier wheels as long as rotating mass and aerodynamics were not adversely affected. The Yaris' real world fuel economy is one of its outstanding features. And one which I care about a great deal. The world needs more cars like the Yaris.

Engine modifications are tacky????
Exhaust mods are usually tacky. The poll choices tend to combine more than one thing into one response.

I already know you will flame on me for this, I am looking forward to your response.
No. Flames on Internet forums are a complete waste of time. Discussion either works or it does not. Things are not looking particularly hopeful for this discussion. But hey, the night is young.

Well I respect you for not flaming.

Discussions can go south on this forum real quick.

The yaris is by far one of the best cars for the money you save.
*I think* You can drop the yaris at least 2 inches before you start to have problems and issues with rubbing, depending on what wheel setup you have, this is where suspension comes in, stiffening the ride.
In the end, it depends on why you bought your yaris..... for it's amazing MPG's, just a DD, sporty car, or a mixture of the previous. I know people on here who will give anything to strip out all the unnecessary parts to get that lightweight gas sipping machine they've always dreamed of.... and then I know some on here who modify the heck out of their yaris to make it a fun and limber AutoX car.
