Previous gen Echo shocks on current gen Yaris

[kngrsll]

yeah, i was thinking about that. What i was thinking in the rear was either a sleeve around the bolt, or enlarge the actual bolt hole on the car. The later would make using a stock yaris shock impossible though, so maybe not a great idea.

As for the front, the distance i am talking about is the holes on the lower bracket. They are about a half to a full inch farther apart. Everything on the top looks like it will work.

What i really need to do is do a comparison of the actual yaris shock off the car, but that means i have to pull mine off, figure out what modifications need to be done, and then put it all back together. and then test fit the new parts to see how it turns out.

So anyone got any stock shocks they want to donate?? :D

maybe i shouldnt give up on it quite yet...

Yeah, enlarging the hole on the car would be the easiest thing to do, but making permanent mods to non-removable parts of the car should always be the last resort.

That's what I thought you meant. Just drill a hole in the appropriate place. (slot it for camber while you're at it!)

I have stock shocks on the shelf in the garage that I could take pictures and measurements of... but I'm keeping them in case I need to return the car to stock.

Would you mind taking picture of the upper strut? and how about a measurement of the bolt holes in the lower bracket. I will get some pics of the upper mount and lower bracket here as well. Thanks!
