Tire size is 205/50 and offset is +40mm. I don't see how Tokico Blues are considered "OE replacements" when all others who use or sell them claim them to be revalved to support 2" drops.

I won't go with coilovers because anything $1k or less is junk and I'm not investing what it would take to get a good ride on coilovers in a car worth what a Yaris is worth, haha.

The Tokico, much like the TRD offering, gives you a very slight increase in rebound/bounce control and are a good match for off the shelf lowering springs. However, like those springs it is essentially enough of a change (10-15%) to compensate for the the drop, and to help maintain ride quality and control.

You are still working with street parts, these are not competition duty items, and are no where near the range of what will actually make a significant difference on the track. If you want to make the car handle better you need to be looking to double or triple the rates over those "drop" springs, and you will need a proper shock that can control it.

If you don't want to spend the money to upgrade just work with what you have.
