Two totally different and unrelated modifications...what are you looking to get out of the car? What I usually tell myself if I don't know what to get is that I'll end up getting just about everything I feel the car needs sooner or later, so it doesn't really make a big difference to me what I order.

GL with the decision! I can't vote because my advice is above :)

I've had both springs, I like the stance the Teins give, but too low imo if you want to take corners much quicker than stock setup. I really like the overall performance/look the Tanabe NF210's give my car. As far as the exhaust, that's something you'll love every time you accelerate or decelerate and people will notice it more often than a slight drop.

Will you end up getting both in the end? If so, flip a coin. :)

Awesome, as far as the springs go, I'd read reviews on YW and make a choice. I have been really impressed with the different exhausts offered for the Yaris...IMO you can't go wrong with any of the choices out there.

I think lowering the car should be done first IMO. One of my favorite mods to date.
