TRD Options

I'm planning on buying a 2009 Yaris Made to order in a few months and had a couple of questions regarding TRD performance parts.

First let me explain my situation.

I've just gotten hired on by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) as a telecommunication technician. I will have to be traveling from SoCal to Oklahoma city quite a few times a year for training throughout the seasons, and they do get bad weather over there. And I need a car with a setup that is safely able to make it there with all the various weather conditions and still get good fuel economy.

Here is my configuration as I will probably have ordered for me unless my mind is changed on a few options:

2009 Toyota Yaris - 3 Door LiftBack 5 Speed
Packages:
- All Weather Guard - Power
Options:
- Cruise Control - Remote Keyless Entry - Integrated Front Fog Lamps
- Carpeted Floor & Cargo Mats - Door Slit Enhancements - Interior Light Kit
- Sport Pedal Covers - VIP Security - TRD Shift Knob - TRD Clutch Assembly
- TRD Performance Air Filter - TRD Rear Sway Bar - TRD Lowering Springs
- TRD Shock Absorbers

I have already test driven a Yaris and enjoyed it very much, except for the really shallow clutch that left a lot to be desired.

Mods I'm going to do right away:
- 17x7 Enkei Racing RPF1 Bright Silver Paint
- 205/40R17 XL Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position Blackwall

Now for the questions.

Will the TRD Springs and Shock absorbers lower the vehicle enough to get an even spacing between the tires and the wheel well?

Can someone attach or link a picture of a yaris with 17" wheels and TRD Lowering Springs?

Will the TRD Rear Swaybar and suspension options help in the snowy, rainy, windy weather of Oklahoma?

Will the TRD Clutch improve the stiffness and responsiveness?

Thanks a whole bunch folks!
