GR Yaris Coilovers and additional mods

[chewlo]

I'm currently choosing between Ohlins R&T and MCA Reds and naturally, will be lowering the car once installed.

Once lowered, I believe the following mods will allow me to "fix" the alignment once lowered:

• Front + Rear sway bar/ARB end links
• Rear Control Arm Upper - for camber adjustment
• Rear Control Arm Lower - for toe adjustment
• Front camber bolts (already installed)

Are there any other mods I should be considering? Are any of the above not necessary? I know some people suggest upgraded ARB/sway bars, however with the Rallye/Circuit Pack, they're already thickened/stiffened from the base model, and also the opinion seems to vary here on the efficacy of upgrading them.

I'd love to get the DNA racing top mounts, however the shipping alone would almost be as much as the plates themselves and I can't justify that cost, hence why I'm sticking with the camber bolts up front only

You won't need the rear toe adjustment, it's already there.

MCA has, usually, much higher spring rates and then arb's aren't needed as much, some even run without them (in front)...

are you sure? shipping up to 2 Kilos from germany is just 22€ via DHL 5kg is 45€ so not that expensive. Depending on alloys and tires you want to use later on camber bolts are not that good as tire can rub on the spring

Yeah, my bad. Just double checked, and I was looking at shipping costs when I was browsing other parts too.

Looks like I'll be getting those DNA top mounts - unfortunate that there's no Whiteline/Hardrace equivalent here in AUS

For me, not a lot of point in upgrading the roll bar itself but adding adjustable drop links is a must. Have waited months and months for Verkline to deliver mine, so maybe choose someone else if you want yours delivered soon.

IMO no need the upgraded ARB and use dna top mounts instead of front camber bolts, and verkline rear control arm for camber.

I have that set up myself and it works great.
