Stumbled across this forum yesterday. Have a 2010 Yaris that I bought new from the dealer. I learned to drive on a standard, and have always had cars with three pedals. Lots of people make fun of my Yaris, but I tell them it has a standard transmission & I can have a lot of fun on the twisties! Not many twisty road in Southwest FL, but there are a few to have fun on. Better to drive a slow car fast, then a fast car slow...

Looking at some mods (suspension and wheel upgrades), and this looks like a good place to get and trade ideas!

A good suspension mod is a rear sway bar.

there is like 8 different lower ladder bars i've found. (positions) with 2 different variations on the front ladder being a 2 point or 4 point not including anti-roll bars. there as even support bars for behind front fenders. there are some lateral 3 point bars that run the length of the vehicle. some of the companies that make most of them are;whiteline, Cusco, Tanabe, GT, but there are a lot of other ones out there too. basically you can add 100lbs. to your chassis and make it as stiff as you want. be careful, some flex is good, and weight steals power...
