First off awesome writeup!!!!!!!!!!!
I have one question though, for those looking to stay in HS what shocks/struts work well with stock springs? Any side affects with that combination? Most are designed to be paired with lowering springs so it seems like this would affect their range of motion (I need something that can go over potholes). Of course if anyone knows of reasonably priced adjustable ones let me know. |

R comps will take you a lot further than shocks in HS though IMO also, keep in mind, if you run a "shorter" shock with stock spring, you'll be compressing the stock spring beyond its original setting, thereby raising your static spring rate :D which isn't bad, but may get you kicked out of HS in a nationals environment. (not that an HS mini is gonna be scared of a yaris.......... )

Hmmm... in SCCA stock class, you can't change the springs or alter the ride height. Dampers are otherwise unlimited... Hmmm...
Seems to me that you could get a generic race shock to replace the rear shocks on the Yaris pretty easily. It's just an eye at the bottom and pin at the top, very common configuration. Get something that you can dial in really some really stiff compression damping for autocrossing and it should do a world of good for reducing understeer. That, plus maxing out the front camber, and the tires mentioned above... that should do a pretty good job of challenging the competition. footnote: One of the caveats of the "shocks are free" rule is that you can't alter the spring perch height. Since the spring perches aren't part of the Yaris rear shocks... you should be free to replace those rear shocks with ANYTHING. |

..... and getting the yaris to rotate is by far the most important thing in stock class :D
it's a shame you won't get any real camber out of the front though :(

Question: How would 10mm rear hub spacers affect handling?

Wider track usually means more grip (for various reasons). So, widening the track in the rear would make the rear stick better. Not really what most of us are fighting for, with a FWD car, you want more grip in the front.
The rear hub spacers are purely a cosmetic mod. (not to be confused with alignment shims) |
