Rear suspension

[dobbiedoo]

What about adding a 3rd hole between the 2 stock holes?

This has got to be the most "eye-opening" thread I've read so far. I'll look under my car about this. Thanks guys.

So I work at a new shop now that has a hunter laser alignment machine and put my car on it and checked the spec for the rear alignment after doing this mod. Surprisingly all my rear specs for caster camber and toe were all within green and very close to perfect. Its been awile since I had an alignment and my mods in the back are trd springs swaybar and this rear mod. So apparently shifting it does correct alignment issues from lowering the car.

Does the rear axle hit your rear lower tie bar? I want to re-try this "mod", but I'm pretty low on S.Tech's, and I don't want the axle hitting my rear lower tie bar.

Should be more worried hitting your gas tank... So I've heard.

Ive taken my rear lower tie bar few days after doing this mod due to it hitting it on bumps.

hahaha, yeah, I was just wondering if it was touching/hitting the tie bar, since it was, then for sure it would be hitting the gas tank. Looks like I won't be re-trying this "mod" again.

Ive only hit my gas tank maybe twice and only on a really huge bump with the car really loaded when i had my factory shocks. Once switching to tokikos i havent had issues since.

Are you on the Blues or Reds? Also, I'm lower than you and only on TRD shocks, so it's not as dampened as yours =\

Sorry to revive a 10 month old thread but I just got a Yaris LB with M2 lowering springs and am interested to see if anyone can provide any long-term update on this mod.

1) Any solution to the rubbing talked about in this thread?
2) Are you using aftermarket struts/shocks?

Thanks

I've been running this mod for over a year with well over 40,000 miles of Michigan roads. I have stock shocks and DF210 springs. The rear springs have rubber inserts to stiffen the back up. The inserts fixed the rubbing of the suspension member on the fuel tank. Also, when I took the car in for an alignment, there were no changes that needed to be made.

I moved mine back to the stock holes until I could get some bump stops. Then I started autocrossing the car and I really like how the car handles as is, so I decided to leave it. It enters the corners very predictably and if I trail brake int the corner I can get the rear to rotate for me. When the rear rotates, it is so controlled and predictable that I didn't want to take the chance of messing that up. By the way I have a 2008 3door LB with Megan Racing coil-overs, UltraRacing rear brace, and A rear swaybar that I think is 22 mm. For racing I turn the rear dampers all the wy up.

[why?]

so for those who have had problems, are your running a full interior or have you removed any rear interior pieces?

[Autocross72]

I am running stock interior, including spare tire.

i think that the upper holes are for the 4wd version
