Great looking Yaris. I have the same color but mine is the 4 door hatch. I have to say my first time seeing front mud flaps and also no rear wiper.

Hmm I see wheels on his Yaris. Steelies are great wheels and can really take a beating. The only thing I say to done are new all-season tires, lowering springs, and wheel spacers. The lowering springs will drop it 2 inches all around. The all-seasons are worth more then summer tires cause you get more out of them. The spacers will give you a wider track and take up the excess wheel fender gap. I recommend Tein S Tech lowering springs. I have them on my own yaris and they been on for almost 3 years.

ty mine is sitting on Eibach springs now i do have some all season that will go on tuesday..would love to go lower but not practical in my area and as daily driver to work...had lower on my integra and it was nothing but pain. The car did drop around 1.8 f/r also i have replaced the struts with KYB's and shocks ...drives fantastic.
Problem is with my small 175/65 14 tires the gap looks larger. As for wheel spacer ..i dont like what they do to the wheel bearings.

You should check Maxxim Air wheels. They are 15x6.5 and weigh just under 13 pounds. I have a bronze set on my mazda miata. They were on my Yaris since the 18inch wheels in the front were rubbing. So i had to cut off a huge piece of the fender liner. they still rub so going to remove both liners soon. So yeah the bronze wheels I have arent made in that color anymore. They have black and polished but black is sold out I believe. They go for $99 a wheels so very affordable.

Jdmrides.ca and Toronto civic forum are good places to find 4x100 wheels

If you plan on getting new suspension what would you go with and why?

well i just replaced mine with KYB struts and shocks and lowering springs, i find its a all around good setup for everyday use as long as u dont go to low.
I was going to go full coilover but lots of money...my total cost to lower my car was just under 400 bucks...but that said i do get parts at cost and i used , used springs that saved me lots. Also it helps to work at a shop with hoist and all the tools one needs. Next time around think full coilovers..just need to find a set that will do ok in our Canadian winters.

Thats nice to have all that to do work on your car. I need to buy new stocks and struts very soon. The rear strut showing signs of wear. So I was thinking of coilovers but there is so much to look at. If i get coilovers I want a set thats really professional.

Coilovers are expensive and in reality completely unnecessary for normal daily driving. I do love my Megans, but if I were to do it again I would probably go for the HTS Reds. http://shop.microimageonline.com/Tokico-HTS-Reds-Adjustable-Shocks-HTS-116.htm
Especially at the price MI has them now. Dirt cheap.

Thanks for that link. I was looking into new shocks anyway. I find most coilovers too troublesome. I dont really need to adjust the damper. I want a pre-set damper that would fit my needs. Thats why I am looking at Fat Cat Mototsport (FCM) for my miata. I was thinking of doing the same for my yaris cause I drive both my cars hard lol.
