I appreciate for any input from u guys!
A few members have put Yaris rear springs in with good results and a few members have put VW Beetle rear springs in (they are much stiffer). At least one member has put Honda Fit rear springs in also. Yaris is probably the easiest with simply jacking the car up, place a jack stand or block under the car, remove the rear shock absorber lower bolt, let the spring drop out, put the new spring in place, put the shock absorber bolt back in, remove the jack stand, lower the vehicle. Done!
