Celica 7th gen rear conversion? - Toyota Yaris Forums

The rear twist beams actually work pretty well at soaking up the bumps, and staying planted. Nice video of one here:

Honestly, I can't see it being worth the effort, and may even reduce handling abilities if you get the roll-height etc wrong. You have to put some serious thought, and some math into custom suspension packages to get results you want. I would sooner convert the front to a SLA setup to get some camber gain in corners. I have nearly -3° camber up front and still only use the outside 1/3 of the tire (at most!). If you could get the front to use all of the tire in the corners, and still have suspension travel, you would probably be much further ahead.

Cheers.
