    I'd rather go for 17s and nice shocks instead of lowering.

    *Vinj, with 17s, ano recommended mo na shocks to compensate sa tagtag ng low profile tires? Hope others can chime in as well. Thanks!

    ^^^ Upgrading to 17s from 15s, you can keep the stock suspension as long as you maintain the overall diameter of the stock tires. There is a Vios with stock 17" rims and tires so that might be something you can look at as basis for your upgrade.

    The "tagtag" on low profile tires is generally not much with suspensions nowadays, IMO. You feel more road irregularities (cracks, uneven patches) but the ride quality in terms of damping control is pretty much the same. I get more ride harshness from riding on hard tires (aired up between 35 to 40psi); that's where i can tell the difference between the good suspensions actually.

    Try 205/45R17 tires. These are the usual sizes i think. You can also see if 205/50 will fit well (at least you have more sidewall with that size). On shocks, i would guess the more common available aftermarket shock is the KYB Sport or AGXs.
