Anyone here lowered?

My budget is limited, so I have to look for less expensive options. What exactly would be problems with Yaris lowering springs from Manzo, Lotek, DNA or DPT?

I think some of the more pricier drop springs options are progressive rate. Where as the generic Ebay stuff is linear spring rate. Also you gotta watch out on the spring rate itself, get something too stiff and the ride will be un-refined an will wear on the strut more. Under-dampened and over-dampened is a thing. I think Tein's S-tech spring rate is just about right if you get the Scion XD spring(same spring but stiffer in rear). The rear is a little stiffer to prevent ass sag on our cars. The Tanabe and H&R are good choices too. If you can find a reputable E-bay seller that has a similar spring rate to a big name brand, id say go for it.

What are the spring rates for the OEM springs on the Yaris? I'm trying to get a spring that is as close to stock as possible but gives a good drop.

Can't comment on the cheaper springs.

But here is a video from Tein about Counterfeit Springs vs Tein

I don't think anyone knows what the OEM rates are, but Toyota. Tanabe's NF210 are their Max Comfort springs, and they stand for Normal Feeling (210 is their tensile strength, 2100nm I believe)
