They're new but broken-in Progress springs I got from a user here. Yep, that YW sticker sure adds *counts fingers* 3 HP lol. It feels alot more stable around the corners I'll tell you that much, so I should start clocking faster times at auto-x from now on. Still getting used to kinda falling on my ass while getting in and having to look up a little while driving. It's gonna take a minute before it becomes natural...
Tamago, spacers will have to wait a while. Right now I just wanna get through this Sunday's runs first and then follow it with an alignment. It's not so much the all-around negative camber that I'm thinking so much about as it is the rear toe problem.

It adds stability by lowering the center of gravity. There's still gonna be the same body roll.
No sway bar yet, but it's on the list

Progress springs are stiffer than stock --- roll will be reduced.

Really? I did notice that it's not as bouncy as stock. I guess I wasn't paying enough attention while cornering (busy having too much fun). I'm gonna have to go run a few laps around the fwy interchanges later today to find out

Yup, 15's on sticky tires are primo around the cones.
Off-topic: We're having a run this Sunday. We could use a sedan on the track to change things up a little. http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25227
