So I bought these a couple weeks ago and was waiting for a friend to come help me install them. Well I grew impatient and decided to give it a go myself. I am by no means a mechanic but I found these fairly simple to install.
I used this link and everything went smooth (thanks Tamago for a very simple DIY)

Anyways the finished product is very aesthetically pleasing and I am glad I purchased these. This car should have came this way from the factory. :thumbsup:
I also threw in some chrome turn signal bulbs cause I can't stand that amber...
Enjoy

Your Yaris is looking really sharp!
But ya gotta toss a tip on that weedy exhaust pipe! Even the twelve dollar ones from Walmart look pretty good!

I'm not to sure what the specs on the rims are other than their 16in BBS's and the tires are 205/45/16. I also have a 1.9in drop f/r

Yeah lol
Oh and btw I think you have one of the cleanist sedans around. I was actually never really a fan of the four door but yours made me think differently :w00t:

Keep up with the nice, clean, simple mods; that's the way to go imo.

It looks like you have a little negative camber in the rears? It looks good. Was that intentional or did that happen with the drop? Or the hub spacers? Or both?

^ some negative camber results from lowering the car. Additional negative camber can be had with shims.

MAN that looks good. Even the otherwise huge rear wing works with those wheels and the drop. Loving the subtlety of the setup.

Really, the rear doesn't get affected? Seems like I got slightly more negative camber and toe-in (visual and alignment sheet) :frown:
Don't tell me that both of those were caused by the repaving of I-80. :frown:

Talking about the spacer? I don't think you would need to get an alignment done since they don't really do anything other than push out the wheels/widen the track.

It only rubs when I go over speed bumps when there's a heavy passenger in the back, but other than that it rides great
