if you're in the US, you can contact Garm or Jeff from the microimageonline.com for more details .

I had the tanabe springs with stock struts then I swapped them with the tanabe coilover and still happy with the result.... the tanabe coilover is less bumpier than I wouldve been expected.

^ not in US. He has a 1.3

Can still contact microimage as they ship international. My money would be on Eibach for a mild drop while still maintaining an excellent ride quality.

^ good call, and yes, happy to ship internationally. All theYaris suspension products should fit the 1.3L just fine.

You should get Micro Images Springs, imo theyre perfect and if you want to run shocks I heard it goes great with Garms Tokico Blues. I still have yet to get mine, but Summer is coming up so I'll be getting it soon!

1.9 seems to be more than OP wants. Anything more than 1.5" exceeds "but not so much". Eibach settling into no more than 1.25" sounds about right.
