Nice write up, 2 things real quick. That's the incorrect way to measure ride height. Also are you sure that is a 9/16" & not metric ? Or you just not have the correct metric size ?

Measurement was a guide to show a before and after.

And if you search around, thats how its done all over the place..

Bottom of center of fender, to the center of wheel.

YES, if will vary from Yaris that come with 16's or guys running aftermarket larger wheel setups, but like mentioned, it was to gauge the drop on your car, during your install.

Theres nothing SAE on the car.

The correct sizes are 14mm, 17mm, and 19mm.

The Strut to spindle bolts and nuts are 19mm
The end links are 17mm
The brake bracket are 14mm
The top nuts are both 17mm
The cowl is held down with 10mm's

Figured I'd add that today so someone can edit the first post to make it right.

Using the SAE sizes WILL lead to rounded over bolts, especially once the car gets some age and rust...
