Megan Racing Springs?

Haven't yet, just looking around for now. Still, $680, I noticed it a few days ago when I was looking at the KYB's. I'm just not exactly sure how it works as it doesn't look like other Coilover kits I've looked at. I have no experience with coil-overs or lowering springs, but I'm interested in getting into autocross, would coil-overs be a better investment?

Yes, coilovers would be a better investment for you if you plan on auto x'ing. Knowing this now, I would look for dampening adjustable coilovers. I think those Bilstein ones are simple pre-load height adjustment only and do not offer shock travel or dampening adjustments, so those may not be the right ones for your needs. Dampening adjustability would be great for you since you'll be able to fine tune corning characteristics based on the track layout.

Another thing to consider is the class you'll be in with the mods you have or intend to have on your car. I know nothing about auto-x'ing, but I do know that certain mods will push you into a class your car will no longer be able to keep up with.

Also, "coilovers" is just a generic term people use these days for adjustable suspension. "Coilover" really means "coil over shock/strut." So the front of the Yaris are coilovers, and the rears are not since the spring is separated from the shock.
