There is a grand... and I am going on the highside for some of that stuff... everything else I can fab up.

the goal is to get it under 800, I think it can be done :)

adjusting ride height is my goal!

I'm broke, but this may be the next major thing i do :)

Balloons, eh? here are my rebuttles
1. Bagged rides handle great, driving preformance is kinda vauge as well as better traction, I have never had worse driving preformance or traction is a bagged vehicle.
2. so... coilovers magicly move weight? again, I have never had worse acceleration from running bags over a stock suspension.
3. Correctly, what makes one way correct and the other wrong. Both are adjustable, bags just make it easier.
4. now that is just funny, you do know air bags are not hydrolics, right? You know the trailblazer SS and Lincoln Mark VIII have airbags and lowers it's self once it reaches a certian speed to increase aerodynamics? I am sure there are other cases of this but I do know both of those vehicles do that for a fact.

so there guy ... do your home work before you start bashing others on something you think you know about

I've seen some advertising here for some kind of hybrid coilovers with integrated airbag at the top, not sure if they make it for the Yaris, but are those any good?
