Ok much appreciated...so if one were wanting to replace the stock calipers with a higher performance caliper, but keep it at the stock size (just bolt on the stock size rotor) what would you go with?

I don't think that you will find anything higher performance without going to a setup that is a complete replacement with larger rotors. With how light the Yaris is, I don't think that you will find any type of upgraded direct replacement calipers that are dual piston, etc.

A while back there was a discussion about lighter rear drums as well. I ran into a website for a company that makes lighter ones, but when I spoke with them about the Yaris ones they had listed, it turned out that they were exactly the same weight as OEM. Their actual lighter ones were the much larger ones for trucks and older muscle cars.
