I'm going to say a long travel custom coilover set up is your best bet. Try to find the member here who actually rally's his Yaris/Echo for more information on custom coilovers since he has had some made for his car.

fully adjustable coilovers with all the arms and links should work wonders

x2. All of the off-the-shelf Yaris suspension systems I've seen are designed for on-road use.

^ keep in mind that the OP has said BOTH rally and DD.

It's also a double post.

Stock would work best for dirt and DD . From October to February 90 % of my driving (Yaris) is on dirt . I usually put my stock shocks and springs back on b/c they allow the Yaris to maintain its attitude (level) over rough terrain. The stock shocks will absorb more bumps and won't violently pitch the car and your kidneys won't take a beating as much . The best reason to use stocks is that there are plenty of slightly used shocks here on this site for cheap

. I have 3 extra sets and none of the have more than 20 K miles ( One of my sets has less than 5 miles on them ) .

Personally if I were to RallyX , I would buy another set of shocks and all the components that go with it . ( top mounting plate ??? ($108 x2 ) , bumpstops , rubber boots etc. etc. ) .Pre assemble everything that way you could make changing shocks/springs a 15-20 min affair . Also if they are legal , I would check into some ATV tires ( Like CTScott ) .

Garm you should try selling shocks this way . By that I mean already pre assembled . That way your customers would have an easier/faster time installing . Sure it would be more expensive , but they would not have to spend 30-60 mins compressing springs and transferring all the other components .

^ That's not a bad idea. With a UPS label so they could return the same parts from their cars when they are done.
