Spring was not meant for Yaris, its for other vehicle but it fits perfectly on Yaris. The rear spring however need to adjust in order to fit in. Then we cut the spring few inches to make the right drop ...

Thats kind of common here in indonesia, most of my customer prefer cut spring because it cost only Half of what they have to pay for branded stuff like tein, eibach etc ...

Precisely! Its kind of the opposite way with the western country where people modified their ride more into engine and performance. In Indonesia people are more into style and audio modification due to the long hours of driving through traffic jam ...

wouldn't you wear out the shocks faster on cut springs? and what about ride quality? i can't imagine the ride to be comfortable while sitting in traffic all the time...

That looks good, but that drop looks the same as the Tanabe springs.

Stock springs have a linear rate. It doesn't hurt anything to trim a bit off of them...as long as it's done correctly.

In my experience all aftermarket spring that is lower than the stock spring will affect the live of the suspension. In this case as long as the spring total weight load is equal with the original, its fine. If the mechanics able to calculate correctly, the ride can be much more comfortable than the aftermarket brands like tein, eibach, tanabe, etc ... But in term of the age of the spring will not be as good as them.

As for the comfortable part, i was refering to the audio system modification. As for the ride quality of course it will not be as comfortable as the original.
