It depends on what you are looking to improve on when doing any mod. Coilovers won't necessarily help you go faster in a straight line if that is what you are looking for, and as many of the others have said, it will cost more to get a proper setup with coilovers but it will also improve handling.

Coilovers can help with straight line drag racing. Depending on how they're setup, you can improve your traction on launch and reduce "bob" while shifting gears which keeps the wheels planted so more power to the pavement. Minimal improvement on an underpowered car like the Yaris but milliseconds count.

Yes a well set-up suspension can help anywhere, but switching from a good spring/strut combo to an off-the-shelf setup isn't going to make a huge difference.

Installed KYB AJX, good range settings 1-5, keep it on 1 for daily driving, and won’t shake out your dentures.
