So, I am about to buy some Tein S Tech Springs for my SE. From what people have said, a set made for 06-11 will work, right....right?

Is the traction control/stability control defeatable like the previous generation Yaris?

My 2012 LE 3 Door has a traction control button next to the handle for the e-brake. I think that's your question.

That only shuts it off temporarily, once you hit 30mph (if my memory serves me) it automatically turns back on.

If you want it to stay off you need to put the car in test mode with the secret handshake.

you could do the secret handshake.... or! at a complete stop you can hold the traction control button down for 3-5 seconds and it kills traction control and stability control. works in Canadian models!

Has anyone attempted to fit 15" wheels on an SE yet?

It comes with 16" wheels so there should be no issues going to a smaller wheel unless you mount big balloon tires on the wheels. Not sure why you would want to down-size them though.

12 yaris · 02-20-2012, 09:04 PM

The SE has larger brakes so I'm not sure if 15's will fit

12 yaris · 02-20-2012, 09:06 PM

How about a roof rack? Canada

enviri · 02-21-2012, 12:24 AM

yes 15s fit in your SE.

I'm thinking of putting headers in my car but i do not want to add an intake or exhaust kinda defeats the purpose of buying this car to save money on gas but i do feel like i need a lil more power when on the highway sometimes. I have an auto 2012 yaris (i know it's slow)

rubhamusan · 02-26-2012, 10:49 PM

What about wheel offset? IIRC 40 in the front and 33 in the rear. Wonder what 34 all around would look like.
I really like these te37 clones.

Now that I have the car in my possession, a short press disables traction control, while a long press disables both traction and stability control. Note that you're only capable of doing either when stopped. The car remains in either condition until shut off or if the button is pushed.

Nice to see they revised that... Holding the button down had no effect on our pre-production unit - but that and the ABS are long gone in Prod trim.

UR rear sway bar (23mm) weighs 13.25 lbs in case anyone is curious. Install and fit were very good.

oohcory · 05-30-2012, 10:46 AM

And I should say the Tanabe concept G to be specific..

vitz_flava · 06-05-2012, 03:07 PM

Just browsed in tanabe's r&d section today and saw that they have some pictures up of the sway bars, tower bars, and under braces for the 3rd gens. And from the looks of it the tanabe medallion touring exhaust from the 2nd gen should fit the 3rd ones as well. You should call them though to confirm.
