My understanding is that it does fit. Try e-mailing Wilwood.
And personally, I think it would be a worthwhile performance mod. The Yaris' braking is pretty weak, which is pretty incredible in a 2,200lb car. |

The Yaris's braking is weak? Any time I have ever approached slamming the brakes I had to hold onto something to avoid going through the windshield... still though I sympathize with you wanting a BBK, but you'd be crazy to get one now. Let the aftermarket mature so you aren't stuck in a couple of years staring at someone with a better cheaper system than the one you got right off the bat.

you will not gain anything but probably make driving even more difficult with a bbk. get a set of slotted rotors and paint your calipers red and call it a day. for increased performance wait a couple of months and then pick up a set of endless pads like their vita nuova. you'll save $2,000 and be able to pick up an ings+1 kit.

No, rice is putting a two-wheel BBK on a 2,200 pound car. If you want to get creative with brakes put two OEM rotors on the back.

Actually, after putting my rims on today, I really do want rotors not aswell. These drums just aren't that good looking, but thank god they are atleast black!

JDM OEM rear disc should be a direct bolt on. I'm not sure they would make a huge difference in the performance dept. though... and drums are actually lighter!
For front, I wasn't able to get ANY fade out of the stock brakes on R-Compounds running for over 30mins at the track this past weekend, but it was a higher speed track that is not very brake intensive... If you aren't tracking the car or don't at least DOUBLE the HP then a big break is not "needed" but may "look nice" For most, a nice set of pads and stainless lines will do wonders |
