Old shocks and struts are shot... going to TRD shocks/struts/springs + swaybar - Toyota Yaris Forums

The hardest part about doing the fronts is chopping a 6mm hex tool down so you don't need to remove the front cowl and wiper setup. As mentioned, the rears are easy as and don't even require you to take the wheels off.

I've actually just pulled all the TRD shocks and Modellista springs out of my Yaris to replace them with a B12 Bilstein kit. I'd recommend you go that way as well. The Bilstein stuff, in my opinion, is better than the TRD gear, rebuildable, and costs waay less. The b12 kit comes with eibach springs as well and the ride is a nice compromise between coilovers and OEM. Don't be sucked in by the TRD branding!!!
