TRD lowering springs and MPG - Toyota Yaris Forums

What if you tell your wife that it will lower the center of gravity and decrease roll thereby making it a safer car?? Or you can do what I did, I had my springs installed while she was shopping. She never noticed.

Tell her that she do not high lift a box of beer to put it in the trunk what's better for her back.

And you can easily to the roof to wash.

So, this with all the suggestions above must be enough to convince her

Good luck

Most non-car people would have no idea something had changed. Tell her you're changing the oil and checking the tires. Once you see her eyes glaze over you're golden. That tended to work for me anyways.

Nice. She's one of the rare ones then. Definitely a keeper.
