nothign makes me think it will work. but there will be 100X more options for a golfIII than a toyota echo (that's not 1bolt upper anyway)

modification is modification

and since a golfIII is heavier than a yaris, you'll be starting out with stiffer valving to begin with. which is FTW

i bet if you call tire rack they'd be kind enough to give you dimensions of the lower bolt holes c/c for the golfIII

also it looks like the yaris "leans" more (bolt holes)

if you get the shocks i'm willing to weld/modify the brackets to fit a yaris.

perhaps a washer on top of the strut rod to protect the yaris bearing from those flat sides?
