Nice, but like you said, lowered! hehe. What's your budget, how low do you want to go, what do you do when you drive it (daily driver, carpool, tracking, etc), you will have to answer those questions for us first.

Btw, why is the date on those pics really off, or did I travel back in time?

budget is pretty much whatever it takes, heh. im planning to lower it, get a new exhaust tip, a small rear spoiler and maybe the yrx body kit.

the dates are insanely off, my camera loses the date every time i turn it off :P

and im a daily driver, i do about 50,000km a year.

hey mate... welcome... nice wheels....
I am planning on lowering my yaris as well.... coz the stock is way high... especially the rear...

If you wanna go really low, get something like DF210's, thats like a 1.8 inch drop....
Here, you might try peddars or kings; the peddars are 2 inch for the yaris, not sure about the kings tho :P

The shipping is a bitch when calling the shots for parts from the US, that is the only problem of getting imported springs like Tanabe's or tiens, etc...

I have pedders but i'm pretty sure it isn't a 2inch drop i was told the drop after it was done but i kinda have forgotten now. From other photos i have seen on the forums the Tanabe DF210's look slightly lower. Although i might be wrong of course.

People who just passed their driving test have to have that plate for awhile.

hmmm, what are the roads like there? That way, we can suggest how low you should go, and what are the specs on those wheels and tires?
