Pretty much anything suspension-wise from a 2nd gen(06-11) will bolt into a 3rd gen hatchback(12-19).

Are the shock and shock mounts the same or different>

Thanks Mitch.

I thought the shock mounts and front strut tower are different (I want to install a strut tower brace.).

I have a Tanabe strut bar ready to go onto my car next weekend when I swap onto my summer wheels and the part number is the same between the NCP91(2nd gen hatch) and NCP131(3rd gen).

Nice

Let me know how it works. I have not purchased the strut bat yet.
I am looking at the "Front Strut Bar for 2006-2020 Toyota Yaris XP90 XP150 1.5 Hatchback Ultra Racing" (link below). Have you had any experience or heard any reviews with this company's gear? The braces look stout!

I put a "horn brace" and a urethane suspension on my hatch back 3cyl./5 speed 1998 GEO Metro. It was fun in the canyons here in L.A./ Ventura. 0 to 60 in under an hour!

I have an Ultra Racing strut bar for a 91-99 Tercel/Paseo in my shed that is unopened but other than that I have no experience with them.

They seem to be fairly decent for one that is non-adjustable. I recommend the Tanabe one, you can adjust it.

Mitch helped me get my TRD sway bar and strut brace

I found what Mitch posted here has been true 2nd gen works on 3rd gen.
