My attitude just acknowledges the facts of platform consolidation. These cars are built to have essentially interchangeable drivetrain and suspension components. It means you have lower design & manufacturing costs, less stock to keep up and lower training requirements. There may indeed be differences in practice, but it isn't foolish to guess that a kit like the Tein Basics will be interchangable between the xA and the Yaris.

Clearly most people would be wise to wait and see how things pan out in the real world, but for the more adventurous of us, it's a calculated risk.
I agree that there is more and more platform consolidation, but the Xa and the Yaris are different platforms. The Xa being the old Vitz/Yaris/Echo platform. Don't get me wrong, I'm not faulting you for being adventurous. I just feel that TRD already has the springs for the Yaris, at a reasonable cost and it saves your warranty. There are also a few other Canadian companies that are in the process of or already have released springs. Unless you want to go full bore and get the coilovers.... ....then these options are better than trying the Xa springs.
