Rear Suspension Movement - Toyota Yaris Forums

A watts link is right on the money.

I do have a basic design on the Watts link ready to go once I get clarification from the SCCA on what exactly defines a solid axle. The one thing that is a potential downside is that the parts will weigh 20-30 lbs which might be detrimental to the potential gains. There is no need to weld a beam you only need a solid mount at the lower shock point.

I also have a plan for a track bar that is extremely simply to mount and install that would be legal in almost any sanctioned race body.

The rear has 2 semi heavy duty tow mounts that have 2 holes already drilled in them that could provide an easy spot to mount a trac bar, the only thing that would be required is a slight reroute on the tailpipe.

I do have another idea for a Anti-roll bar but that's going to be secret since it can create a potential failure in the axle over a long period of time.

Something like this is what I was thinking too for a watts link:

^ And there you have the parts I'm going to be using.

Some models of the Chevy Cruze a watts link with a sum total of parts that would cost less then $200 to procure, and require only minor modification to the support beam and stabalizer arms to make them work in the way I'm trying to make them work.
