derickveliz2's linked ones say they are used by Nascar teams. Makes it sounds like a trustable product.

Especially if they use them for beer coasters after the races. Or street hockey.

now that would be interesting. Take them off the car and bring them to the bar.

Another option would be to get a set of custom made coil springs for the rear from these guys: Coil Spring Specialities. I bought a custom made set (fronts) for my Tundra after I installed a winch up front. I told them exactly how much extra weight I had added up front and they made some that were stock + the extra 200 plus lbs. Once installed, the springs brought the front of my truck back up to stock height. They worked great for several years, then I swapped them out for custom coilovers. Could be worth a call or at least check out their web site.

How much did they cost you?

It's been about 5 years so my memory is bit faded on the cost, but I think for the Tundra springs it was between $200 and $250 for the front pair. I'm fairly confident it would be less for a Yaris since far less material is required.

On their main web page, there is a Request a Quote link. Fill out the info and they will get back to you. Five years ago I just called them and gave all the info over the phone and just over two weeks later the springs arrived. I don't know what their turn around time is now.

Hmm, that is quite a bit of cash, at least for the Yaris. It is worth checking out to see what they say.

I did send them a quote just to see what they would say, I also sent them a link to this thread.
