Hello Yarisworld members!

Now that we've gotten a sizeable amount of product out in your hands, we'd love your feedback!

What can we do better? What products would you like to see in the future?

Thank you in advance for your feedback!

the only thing that I would recommend is that to remove the drums....one is likely going to need a puller (I used a steering wheel puller).

another option is to take a wood block and hammer and beat the crap out the wood while holding it against the drum housing. Then rotate it and do it again, all the way around. The drum housing should just come off then!

Exhaust, Bars, etc =p

Strange thing happened with my spacers. I ordered the 13mm spacers and I have 205/50/16 with 16x7 +42 wheels. I am also dropped on coilovers. You said it should fit fine. The driver's side spacer fit fine, but the spacer on the passenger side made my tire rub when hitting small bumps. Luckily I had a set of 10mm spacers, so I switched out my passenger side 13mm for a 10mm and now it is fine. Visibly, you could tell that the passenger side wheel was sticking out further than the driver's side when both 13mm spacers were on. However, now that I changed to a 10mm on the passnger side, it matches almost perfectly.

I don't know if it was Tamago trying to sabotage me (doubt it), but just wanted to let you know. :P

ps: I never got a sticker..... :(

there are differences left and right on each car from the factory.

Dial in the camber equally on each side and the 13 mm's should work nicely.

I'll get a sticker out to you here shortly, little snail mail envelope action.

PETERPOOP · 06-18-2009, 05:21 PM

Yah, I know it must have been from the factory. not a big deal, just letting you know it happened. Thanks for the sticker!

Cool, plans on getting it aligned? I'm curious what your alignment #s are in the back.

PETERPOOP · 06-18-2009, 05:47 PM

We're working on a rear camber solution for you guys since there isn't any adjustment from the factory (cheap too

).

shoot me a PM when you find the sheet.

I'm experiencing the same problem.....same side too i thought it was just me...

Penguin Garage · 06-23-2009, 11:27 AM

If you haven't received a sticker yet shoot me a PM. I sent out a batch of them earlier.

Peter's is going out today actually (sorry for the delay). :)

I like the look of my 13mm spacers I wish I had the chance to through my car on the alingmant rack after I installed them since it would have been free. But family problems came up and had to quit that job but I had it on the rack the day before when I installed my camber bolts

We've noticed that some of the yarii appear to be lopsided from the factory. Unfortunately we cannot control or anticipate which cars ARE lopsided. We are offering camber shims to minimize rubbing at discounted rates to buyers of spacers who are currently having this problem, PM for details.
