I hadn't thought about that, sounds like I have some measuring to do before May.

I've looked at the rear shocks and it does seem pretty easy get a shock that fits, Radflo makes a GREAT race shock and they'll make shocks to your dimensions (collapsed and extended lengths) I've ran several sets of their shocks on my previous trucks. The front would be more of a task considering the mount from the strut to the knuckle would have to be figured out. 2.5 inch diameter race shocks on all 4 corners of a Yaris would be fun (well maybe 2.0's would be more reasonable haha)An External reservoir or internal floating piston shock would be nice.
