Handling Pack 2 - Toyota GR Yaris

Toyota's GR Yaris is a car that drives nicely from the factory. It is agile, accurate and fun to exploit, however the harder you drive the faster its dynamic shortcomings become apparent.

To tackle these issues, we've created our range of Toyota GR Yaris Handling Packs.

The Suspension Secrets Toyota GR Yaris Handling Pack 2 is focused on improving the body control, the neutrality of the chassis and the braking, whilst also reducing understeer and any vagueness in the steering.

The Suspension Secrets Toyota GR Yaris Handling Pack 2 includes:

Eibach Pro Kit Lowering Springs

A 30 - 25mm drop in ride height reduces the GR Yaris' centre of gravity. This reduces how much the body of the car pitches and rolls during acceleration, braking and cornering. The Yaris becomes far more responsive to driver input due to a reduction in pitch and roll, which allows for faster direction changes - which is ideal for fast road or track driving.

During our testing programme, we discovered that the ride quality of the GR Yaris actually improved with the Eibach springs fitted. This is thanks to the high stress X5 spring steel that is used in the Eibach springs construction. With the springs fitted, you get both enhanced cornering performance, and increased ride refinement.

Eibach Camber Adjusting Bolt Kit

Front camber is not adjustable as standard on the GR Yaris. Eibach's Camber Adjusting Bolt Kit fixes this issue and gives some much needed negative camber to the front axle of the GR Yaris.

The benefits of negative camber include reduced understeer; improved cornering grip, and more even tyre usage and wear.

Hardrace Rear Upper Camber Kit

Negative camber on the front axle of a car is essential for tackling understeer, but negative camber on the rear axle is also a very important thing to consider in relation to the overall handling characteristics of a car.

Hardrace adjustable rear camber arms improve the amount of camber achievable on the GR Yaris' rear axle. This additional camber increases the amount of traction available on the rear axle during cornering, particularly on corner exit, which is essential for an all-wheel drive car like the GR Yaris.

Having increased negative rear camber also allows the Yaris to adopt a far more neutral cornering stance as both axles work in tandem with one another.

PowerFlex Front Control Arm Caster Bushings

PowerFlex's caster bushes are a great upgrade for the GR Yaris and they bring a variety of dynamic benefits including improved braking, better steering feel and more precise steering.

Most notably, positive caster improves dynamic camber gain, which enables more of the tyre's contact patch to be used during cornering whilst reducing the amount of static camber required - this means better cornering speeds but also increased high speed stability and braking stability.

Caster also improves steering feel, and the high self-centring torque created by these caster bushes allows for you to exit corners far more smoothly as the wheel re-centres far more progressively.
