That's the only problem with this forum, everyone is obsessed with lowering. It just means that when you drive your car over a speed bump or up a sloped kerb into a driveway/carpark you will be much more likely to scratch the shit out of it. That's why a body kit is good, it will give you the look of a lower car, but if you scratch something, it will only be the front lip, which is a lot easier to take off and fix/replace than the actual body.

well..i like lowering setup for 2 main reasons,

first,
being a VW owner for 14 years, i'm used to for originality or factory setting.
but since the last 2 cars is already lowered from factory, i became used to with that setting.
the last one is the GLi.
i bought this car brand new from VW and it's already has all around bodykit, 18in BBS rims, and lowered 1.5in. all factory setup, not add-on from my side.
the only thing i did is, i switch the rims with stock rims from my buddy's VW R32, but they are same size, specs is 18x7.5 OZ rims and 225-40-ZR18 Eagle F1 tires.
i owned this car since 2005 and it actually gave me many nightmares in terms of.."am i gonna hit that curb or not?"...
but other than that, it's the best and the most fun car i ever have.

second,
i've seen many Yaris in freeways of SoCal.
some with stock all around,
some with stock rims but lowered,
some with aftermarket wheels and lowered,
but also,
some with aftermarket wheels..and without lowering setup.

my God those car looks so tall.

last week,
i saw this silver LB with after market wheels set.
not sure what the size is but surely a big rims. either 17in or 18in to me.
we met in Rowland Heights area and together we entered the 60 freeway.

from behind..the car looks so tall and much like a mini van.
on the freeway...
when a new Mazda mini van pass by,
i can see that the Yaris is almost taller than the Mazda.

then i said this to my wife,
"see that honey..., that's why we've gotta get the lowering spring!"
(our new rims is on the process of ordering, last time we ordered..they out of stock)


of course people ways of thinking is different...,
but i still gonna buy that Tanabe DF210 or probaby the Tein spring.
not sure which one is better, but i will get one of them.
