Yah when I first saw them on a mini I was like nice and simple looking. I think its the body height of the Yaris and the tires on there. I think maybe a 50 or 55 series would be much better but the car would have to be lower.

My wife works at a custom spring manufacturer so might get some springs made up. I think they have specs of up to 2006-2008 but don't know off hand if they will fit my 2011.

If I decide to keep them for good then I'll get them painted either white or gold.

Next time the car is loaded with weight I'll take some more shots.

The white ones don't look any larger--it's all about the size of the tires on them. Putting a 1.75-2" drop on makes them look even sillier.

I would't go that big of a drop as I do haul around quite a bit with the car. I'd probably just drop max 1.5 or less if I had the springs custom made.
