Suspension part interchangeability for 2015 5 door hatch back

[Calrenman]

Hello
Does anyone have any idea about part interchange ability between yaris generations?
I have a 2015 and nobody has aftermarket frame braces or strut/ shock tower braces. The pics look the same except for the mounts on the shocks.
I would love to start a sticky on parts interchangeability.

First example is the sway bar from the 2013. The PTR11-52071 is supposed to bolt right up. I am installing one on my 2015 Le 5 door hatch.

What else can I get away with?

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

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).

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.

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

What does the adjustment do? Camber? Or just stiffen the ride?

Is the tanabe four bolts or two?

Do you have a part # or link handy?

I am new to the mods on this car. My car has been in a fender bender so adjustment may be a good call. Car tracks well. I cannot wait to put the sway bar on. The freeway is wobbly in the wind.

Thanks for the heads up.

Tanabe part number should be: NST45.
I got mine from RHDJapan.

Hello Mitch. Did you install the bar yet?
Is there a difference?

No I ran out of time and didn't get around to installing the strut bar. Its on the list lol.

Planning a wedding eats up alot of time.

On the other hand, my exhaust came in from Japan so I get to install that too at some point

[Calrenman]

did you get a "cat back" exhaust? Good luck with the wedding.

Thank you Mitch.

I installed the sway bar and some rubber spring spacers that firmed the ride up and it tracks completely "true" now.
The slop in the rear axle/ trailing arm is gone! TRD sway bar is the way to go!
I also installed a trailer hitch for a bike rack that seemed to stiffen it up too.



I may have made contact with a Japanese Manufacturer of frame and body braces for test fitting some braces on the 2015 Yaris 3rd gen with an automatic. It may help get parts lists "UPDATED" and expanded. I will go to their shop at the end of the month. I will figure how to get pictures and video up to share results.

Hello
I wanted to update this thread with so cool news.

I went to Cusco USAs head quarters today.
I met with Kenji their state side engineer and he did a test fitting of the 949 477 A sub frame brace. Link:

https://cdn.sanity.io/files/16fc9m9h...818841e2d9.pdf

It took a few hours and some research by Kenji of Cusco, but the test fitting was a success. The above listed sub frame brace fits Automatic Transmissions as well as Manuals!

I will add links to my pictures. It was fun but a bunch of work.

I want to put out a special thanks to Kenji at: https://cuscousainc.com/
He put a bunch of time into putting this brace on my 3rd gen Yaris!

If you have never added a frame brace to any sub compact here is my experience:
1.No slop pulling the Yaris side to side (car tracs true).
2. Braking is more even/ straighter.
3. cornering is more leveled and controlled
4. Keeps front end geometry consistent without flex of the subframe during cornering and braking.
5. BLING UNDER THE CAR!

I am going to put Pics on face book and link them here.

I am very impressed with the Cusco subframe brace. My car handles so much better. Well worth the money!
