ATTN: Don't buy REAR Stoptech SS Lines!! - Toyota Yaris Forums

CF-Shane · 09-01-2007, 06:09 AM

I had a 93 S10 where, I shit you not, the ABS consisted of a speed sensor and valve (rear wheels only) that would quite literally shut off your rear brakes when they locked up. You'd be amazed at what manufacturers can get away with when it comes to naming parts in a sales brochure. Take the Yaris for example: I see a solid beam rear axle with coil springs, and Toyota's marketing department sees a "tortion beam rear suspension". Yeah, ok. When I hear that I think of tortion bar suspensions that are typically found in older Chrysler cars and modern 4x4 trucks, not a plain beam and springs suspension. It all comes down to properly applied naming or not, they'll call it what it needs to be called to sell vehicles.
