You know, I'm not even sure. I had the numbers at some point but I looked for them a few weeks back and couldn't find the e.mail. Base on feel alone, they are sort of like goldishox: not too hard and not too soft, juuust about right!! haha. Actually, they could be a tad more stiff, just a tad.

Toyota isn't going to chop the stops nor are they going to tell you to do that.

Don't do this!! Save your money and get a full setup. You're going to be bouncing and rolling like your Yaris has tourette's.

And I agree, Toyota isn't going to tell you to cut anything. And quite possibly, you don't need to if you use their setup. The TRD springs have a very high spring rate so you may never bottom out.
