Lowering springs for 2013 Yaris?

[manualmotive]

Hello all, new to the forum but been in the car modding 'scene' for years. Anyways, my girl wants to lower her 2013 Yaris (1.5-2inches) but without spending too much money (so coils are out the window even though I strongly prefer them). Handling is not really a concern since its just her automatic daily driver so she just wants cheapish springs that lower it noticeably. I was hoping that the 2nd-3rd gen transition was more or less a facelift, but after calling Toyota they told me that lowering springs for the 2nd generation Yaris will NOT work on the 3rd generation, but on other threads some people are saying that anything 07+ will work...? Can anyone confirm whether or not the 2nd gen (XP90) and 3rd gen (XP130) Yaris can use the same springs?

If we can't use 2nd gen springs, what lowering springs will work on a 2013 5-door Yaris? The Micro Image springs looked perfect but sadly I've found that they are out of business and I can't find the springs anywhere on eBay or other sites. I found H&R springs but they're a bit pricey and only drop it about 1.3 inches. Any other options?

Thanks guys! Google has been leaving me answerless with this, apologies if I just couldn't find the right thread.
