and like you said the bonus is having the caliper be the hand brake and not have a set of drums under it and the second gen XB calipers are setup exactly like that and will sit over the yaris front rotors perfectly....the trick becomes mounting and i "think" there may be a solution to not using a spacer and just welding the caliper mount directly to the beam, its a question of how well the alignment sits for doing so

Once I get to mounted and tested for a few months I’ll let you know if there’s any mounting issue. I’m also planning on making another mounting plate for the Yaris SE caliper, which are clocked different than the Corolla calipers.
