Which Suspension Upgrade(s)?
I live in an area with significant snowfall, and would prefer to not lower my car. I will buy the rear swaybar, but will i notice a worthwhile improvement with upgraded shocks/struts? And has anyone had experienced with snowfall with a trd spring lowered yaris?

That's not an aggressive drop, I'm sure you'd be fine -- other choices in brand include Eibach Prokits and H&R progressive springs.
You will notice a huge difference with upgraded struts/shocks. Much crisper response, more road feel, and the total combination of sway bar, springs and struts/shocks make the Yaris feel like a different car (a better one).

If you choose not to lower...a rear anti-sway bar alone will greatly improve handling. Upgrading to performance dampers is normally the first and most effective upgrade however the Yaris desparately needs that rear bar in any case.
