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?

Um... I offered to take pictures and measurements, but nobody ever said that they wanted me to do so. :)

What do you need photos of exactly?

oh, sorry mate lol... yeah, do you think you could do that? did you see my pics? could you take one of the lower bracket like that? also one of the top of the strut mount? Could you also measure the distance between the bolt holes in the lower mount? I know thats alot, sorry :( Thanks again!

also, measure over from the strut body to the centerline of each hole, upper and lower.. it'll make fabbing the new brackets much better (giving the "triangle" dimension to allow for proper camber)
