^True, but I've seen his car in person. His sits high and already looks like it has almost a little bit of wheel tuck while cornering because it's on 18's on 215 tires. Progress is so low that it would make him rub like crazy. Rubbing would be less frequent on TRD's, but only because it's a softer spring.

Yeah Kevin is really nice guy. He hooks me up and even lets me bag on him lol. And I knew I sent you to the right place because they're experts when it comes to XXR wheels (you probably saw the rack of colorful 513's in the showroom). Glad they took care of you . Post new pics!

Only over speed bumps and dips (and %*$&# LA potholes!!) at faster speeds. The higher ride height (compared to Progress) should compensate plenty otherwise. If he was on Progress he would be more prone to rubbing over every little dip, bump, and steering maneuver.

Oh yeah, and I saw a modded Yaris around here somewhere at some time today. Too tired to remember the details right now...

Saw jethrojallas's ride at his job while getting gas over the weekend. Looks better now with that drop
