don't know the technical name for the color, but dark metallic gray sedan parked in the Cal State Monterey Bay parking lot every day, looks like TRD muffler. Still haven't met the driver yet

^Alright.., looks like I found one lol.
Since you're running 18's with wider tires, I would go with TRD springs (assuming you don't plan on upgrading the shocks). DF's would be too low and too soft so you're likely to feel tire-rubbing over every little speed bump and corner. Plus they aren't covered by your dealer's one-year base warranty, and people here with DF's have complained that the rear starts to sag after one year.

thanks silverback i was looking into the dfs but my stepdad has 17s and some trds and it sits a tad bit high in the back but i was thinking since i got 18s it would make it look nice and clean with the trds plus it would get rid of the really awkward height my car is at right now also since ur in el monte
do you know of any shops around that would install for less than 300 cause thats the lowest i could find i kinda feel its a bit ridiculous of a price for an install |

$300 just for a spring-job? What, they're gonna cook you dinner too? lol
I paid $120 to have my Progress springs installed by my tire guy in town. PM'd you the address.

^True, but I've seen his car in person. His sits high and already looks like it has almost a little bit of wheel tuck while cornering because it's on 18's on 215 tires. Progress is so low that it would make him rub like crazy. Rubbing would be less frequent on TRD's, but only because it's a softer spring.

Only over speed bumps and dips (and %*$&# LA potholes!!) at faster speeds. The higher ride height (compared to Progress) should compensate plenty otherwise. If he was on Progress he would be more prone to rubbing over every little dip, bump, and steering maneuver.
Oh yeah, and I saw a modded Yaris around here somewhere at some time today. Too tired to remember the details right now...
