NF210 Tanabe springs. Drops the car 1.5 inches -- more than you might think, but you won't need new struts. The DF210 drop the car 2 inches-- which you may need new struts. I got mine from iptuned on Ebay. I know we're supposed to support the forum venders, but the guy did good for me.

Tires? I have Toyo Spectrums. I also recommend those at 35 bucks a pop. Or the Toyo Proxies for a higher price. They're cheap, with high mileage guarantee, and they don't hydroplane. The Goodyear Eagles that come with the car are garbage IMHO. Ever since I got some Toyo's (with a different car) I'm sold on the quality and life of those tires.

I got a 09 yaris sedan too. I like the outlook of it...and the shortening in car length make it looks great. I have a problem of rattle noise and it happen just a week after I got the car. Now I am waiting my dealer to fix.

I think sedan is actually look better than yaris's hatchback

Exactly. Giving up a car for no ABS is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of in my life, no offence to the OP. ABS is for people who can't drive and like to just slam on their brakes.

When I got my first car with ABS, my dad said that he felt it saved him from an accident one time. When he stopped less then an inch short of someone else's bumper. ABS is ok, but a lot of the newer "safety features" are really "you can't drive so I'm gonna do it for you features". I mean some cars slam on their brakes for you now. Here's an idea, pay some attention and learn to drive properly.

2009 Yaris Base Hatch with Automatic, 935 miles.

Like: Pearl Sand Black! All the room inside! Interior an upgrade from my ECHO! $600 off list and five years 0% financing! The $10 cruise control! (thankyou YarisWorld!) All the storage places! The Hatchback! The Toyota new car smell! The high seating position! The quality! 36 mpg all citi driving!

Not So Like: ABS and TPMS! (more $$$, more stuff to break, and I already am a responsible driver) More weight than my ECHO! (2300 vs 2000 lbs) Throttle lag! (how did you screw this up Toyota?) Only 36 mpg! When its cold exhaust makes horrendous droning sound until it warms up!
