Oh ok. Then you previous statment is very true

Most, if not all cars are designed to have a degree of understeer, if not terminal understeer on the limit.

It is more intuitive to control / correct a car that understeers (slowly get off the gas and/or apply the brakes gras compared to a car adually) that oversteers (countersteer, however cool it looks and sounds is not something for the novice driver).

I've got the 10mm PG hub spacers myself. I like it. Got rid of most of the rubbing in my inner rear tire well. Looks very nice too, and is cheaper than those JDM-branded hub spacers. When I installed it it does seem to have made the rear a little more squirelly but I'm not sure if its because I don't have enough toe / camber OR I lack rebound control from the shocks.

The quality of the PG hub spacer, as well as the aircraft grade fasteners included seem much better than even the Toyota OE fasteners. Plus the guys at PG took the time to answer my questions knowing that I was form abroad and had low chances of ordering from them anyway and even recommended which size to get. Nice guys, very helpful and a great little but highly useful product.

and it's not like installing rear hub spacers will turn your yaris into any more of a plough than it is from the factory anyway

:) alignment and tire pressures are your best and easiest way to change the way your car rotates
