lowering springs.

hi everybody, im from the uk, ive got a 1.4 d-d sr 2008, this car came with a sport suspension, but i want to go lower than it is now, how ever i try over here no one does lowering springs for the diesil yaris, so guys is there anything over there that would please my heart and yaris, just cant believe that there is nothing for the diesil, im running on 17in wheels and toyo tyres, so it looks cool but just needs that extra few mm lower, any ideas would be cool, thanks again.

As far as suspension goes, I can't believe there would be a difference between petro and diesel. Should be able to use any aftermarket spring offering for the Yaris.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

Now you're getting personal

I weigh 200 pounds more than some of those at our meets. Should I change up to stronger springs.
