awesome shocks...

Lafiro , there are several ways to attack your dilema . 1. Get a coilover system that has adjustable height and dampening . Set the height to the height that you have with the TRD's then set the dampening to soft . 2. Change wheel tire combination . The smaller the sidewall number , the more harsh the ride . Larger wheels means you have accomodate by using a lower sidewall number . 3. Get adjustable (dampening) shocks . The TRD springs will work fine .

I have 2 Yari LB's . One ( white , 2007 ) has TRD shocks with Tein springs . The other (blue , 2009 ) has TRD shocks and springs . The white Yaris has 195/55/15 as tires and the blue has 185/60/15 for tires . When I go on a long trip I take the blue , but when I go to the track I take the white . The blue is noticeably softer .

Also keep in mind the C300 is much heavier and has a longer wheelbase which both aid in dampening .

I think if you go with an adjustable shock in conjunction with the TRD springs and use stock tire size you will be fine . If you still want softer just switch the TRD's for the stock springs .
Hope this helps......

What size are your tires? You don't rub at all on the front IIRC/

195/55/15 dunlop star specs. when i had the HTS's, DF210's, and rear sway bar, i didnt rub. i just used a dremel on the upper strut holes to help gain some more camber (-2.5* from -1.8) and now i have a slight rub, so ill have to figure that out, but its only when i really jerk the wheel hard and fast.

yeah my tires are a lot bigger than that. I think they are like 215s so I'll probably still rub a little bit
