I have already installed the shocks several months ago. I used monroe brand BMW e46 shocks, sourced locally were around $80 for the pair. We welded a big washer were the original piston cover sits and then slid the cover over the washer. This was done because the outer diameter of the BMW shock was slightly smaller than the yaris one so I was afraid the piston would slide through the metal hole in the original cover. This is important because this cover is also the lower base for the mounting bushings. The only other mod needed was to make the mounting holes on the rear beam larger. This was done to accommodate larger bolts as the E46 mount has a larger sleeve than the OEM. Took around 2 hours to do all of it and had made a CONSIDERABLE difference, im still looking to get it slightly stiffer. It has seen some track use too
