Suspension, lowering

[yarismo]

Hello everyone, a friend of mine wants to lower his 2007 HB yaris and asked me if he can just buy springs of another vehicul (not toyota but other car's manufacturer) that fit well for the yaris and place them? And what other car brands that may have the same springs as the yaris ?
Thank you

sounds abit risky...

m2 springs are only like $90 on ebay if your friend is after cheapies

Can't fit springs from another car. Buy Yaris springs that are correct for the car. There are even new and different part numbers for the new Yaris (because it doesn't weigh the same). Name brands are more consistent with respect to spring rates and lowering amount than cheap springs.
