yeah but you have to spend $150 for springs, how long will it take to break even on that initial investment?

yeah, somewhat improved mileage would be an extra bonus, but not the main reason to do this...

Yeah - i had to lower the car because it looked like some less than functional front wheel drive dune buggy without it - you could run over a family of garden gnomes carrying fishing poles in a "pre-lowered" Yaris and they wouldnt notice anything but a breif moment of shade and a quick breeze.
