Question Lowering Springs: Need help!

Hello all. I have 15" slipstreams on 195/55/15 tires. I'm currently on the market for some lowering springs. I know absolutely nothing about springs and suspensions. What would you recommend I should get? I have a fairly wide gap between the tire and fender. How low should I go?

It depends on what you want. Firmer/softer? Mild drop vs big drop?

I want to cover the gap as much as possible and the same time a firm/smooth ride.

1.2", and they have progessive spring rates, so itll still be comfy for city driving...

TRD springs are specifically made for the Yaris and adds a 1.2" drop!

The price for those is $179 + shipping!

Would you suggest that the TRD sport shocks be purchased along with the TRD springs?

I would suggest to match those two together. You can buy one and then save up for a few months then buy the other. It is completely up to you though.
