Have you done it on yours?

A washed and waxed Y always looks good, but what do YOU think of it?

I like it cosmetically, but the ultimate Yaris would be one with a secret AWD system and some forced induction...

Yes, I'm lowered on Tein S.Techs. Almost 2 inches of a drop. Probably too low for your needs. hehe. Yeah, TRD or Eibach should do you nicely.

That's about $200, right? This is for the springs only, not coilovers?

I'd do it myself but that front half looks like a big job...

I'd imagine your highway FE would go up though because of the reduced aero drag, has this been the case for you?
