Newbie Questions
I am going to get a yaris and I have some questions. I want my yaris to be a bit more sporty than stock. I like the look of lowered yaris' but how much should they be lowered generally, and how much does that cost? If I got a body kit would I need to lower it? Doesn't the kit give it that lowered look?

You can get a lip kit for the "lower" look.. but as far as I know there are no massive drops, 2" is the most, and it looks pretty good.
Body kit may or may not go lower than stock. |

i personally don't like cars that have an aftermarket body kit and is not lowered...just looked tacky IMO.

Lower it!!
If the gap was any bigger, you need a map to find your way around the fender gap. |

To answer the "how much should I lower my car" question, decide based on the quality of roads around you. I know when I go to Florida, pavement holds up better in warm weather and the roads are much nicer than where I live in Ohio. If your roads are crap, go with a modest set of springs... TRD's or NF's. If you live where the roads are nicer, you can go a little lower... DF's will work.

I think I will go this route as well when there are some decent aftermarket shocks\struts finally released. Maybe even go for a nice set of coilovers, that is if I can find a local shop that does corner weighting. |

i posted some shocks by Tokico, the D-Spec shocks here somewhere. they're pretty pricey, so i would rather cough up a couple extra hundred bucks to get coil overs, which ones...i have no clue.
