i have battled with that thought...

some schools of thought think stiff rear on FWD is better, some think not. when i tracked the yaris the first time, it was on tanabes and had the 23 mm rear bar. the car was great, balance perfect, and a blast to drive. i put the stiff springs on the rear, i never got to track it, only autox. and i wasnt real sure i liked it. so i did the suspension like i have it now, and i think its better. next time i go, i plan on swapping parts on different days and trying it out.

yea i was in ur shoes about a week ago. i battled for a loooong time on whether to get them or not too being 80 bucks only spacing 13mm but i had the cash and i thot wth. but i can say that i like my car 2x as much now. they just make it look smooth and clean. now when i see a car with inset wheels i think "ew, they really need some spacers." so i say go for it
