Which one should I get, TRD, Tanabe, Eibach, etc
I am wanting to get stiff spring so I can corner slightly harder, I have the TRD sway bar already. But I don't want the car to lower too much otherwise my small wheels 14" would look unfit with the car, this is just a commute car, not track racing or anything aggressive, any suggestions? thanks

Mild drop (1" more or less): Eibach prokits is a great choice.

Medium drop (1.4" more or less): H&R is the best choice out there.

Aggressive drops is not something you are looking for, so I didn't put any of those in this list. Happy to ship to Canada btw.

the mi springs are really nice not a big drop but it is noticeable and they are stiffer than stock but not super stiff ive had them for a couple of months now and would highly recommend them i have some pics in my thing if u wanna take a look
if you look at my photo a couple posts down, you'll see the drop isn't severe. The photo is 15" wheels.
Some shocks designed for performance springs are definetely recommended.
If you don't want new shocks, Garm's recommendations for springs are probably wiser.
rock on

Eibach Prokits would be where it's at for you. These, btw, are the springs that Toyota Canada sells as their optional lowering springs.

The MI springs I'm sure are a good buy. Garm, are the MI springs the same as the Tigers or are they different?
To the original poster, I'd suggest the MI springs. Garm is great to do business with and takes care of his customers well. A straight forward and honest business owner...a rare thing in this day and age.

thanks guys -- car looks good.
@ detroiter, We bought the TigerTec in bulk and re-branded it for MI, same springs.

Why not come out to a GTA meet and sample some of the various set-ups first hand. Upwards of a dozen modified Yarii frequent the Mississauga meets on the second Wed. evening of each month.
Want details? Ask and you shall receive. :burnrubber:

I like my NF210s a lot. The advertised drop was 1" but I got mine used and think they are actually a bit lower than that. The ride is great though.
