The dampers themselves could be adjustable too (anything beyond 16 way is purely marketing, even 16 is pushing it). Coilovers will tend to ride better than springs. Also keep in mind that just using lowering springs will severely reduce the longevity of the dampers, especially if you're using the OEM ones.

Question two, just get an OEM replacement for now (see if Rockauto.com has a replacement) and get some some Lamin-x clear film to help prevent them from getting damaged. Why don't you use them? They help with immediate foreground illumination as well as side illumination.
For a coilover kit, I would like to get your recommendation please. I know they will range in price, but I'd like to have the "best bang for the buck" kit.

As for the fog lights, I never found them very useful. I just can't really see any more with them. I was going to upgrade them at some point, to something a good deal brighter. I do like having good fog lights, but for me these never really fit the bill.

Unfortunately there really aren't much choices. I only have experience with Tein Flex Z in my GT86 and BC in my friend's previous Civic. My lowering springs for the Yaris are Tein. However, most people here have liked their Megan coilovers here. I would personally get Silk Roads though (I've just learned to spend more upfront than spend more in the long run). Finding a place that sells them may be difficult.
