I'm not going to say that it is better than the Koni suspension EG civic, the ass end sets to high and it has more over steer. It is however a huge improvement over the stock Yaris, it is so well put together it feels like a toyota technician installed it (i did the install), It is a very firm suspension, I have yet to push it to lose grip as I am afraid how it would react. With the Civic if you lose grip it was predicable and recoverable. The best part is all the components go on easily like I'm talking stock fitment. The Koni Civic was alsways plaiged with funny noises and odd thumps, none of this with the TRD Yaris.

I can say that I am just has happy driving the new Yaris as I was the 150k mi 16 year old civic, much happier.



So the big question is what do I add to the Yaris next, I have planned OEM cruise, OEM fogs, Tasteful tach, any other chassis stiffeners worth their cost?
if you are really wanting to improve your handling, the best place to start is tires. get another set of wheels and a good set of sticky tires. that will do WAY more than any brace could.

I would agree but these cheap Champiro's have yet to break loose as hard has I have tried. They are sticky tires for the money.
