I'm doing this to my yaris soon. I tow alot and the replacement pads and rotors I got over the winter fade quickly. It nice to see another person giving the yaris a chance.
@@mrpartridge8765 that's awesome dude! I didn't think these things had the torque to haul more than 2 passengers, let alone tow a trailer. 😂 I love these little things.
@@willythewyno my yaris isn't exactly stock. In stock configuration it wasn't happy about it but after doing all the engine mods the guy on this video is doing it doesn't care.
I'd really like to do this but I doubt it will fit with my konig 15x6.5 heliums. I have a 2011 hatch and have stoptech rotors and pads and still found them to be lacking even in everyday use
Hi there, yes I do. I'm potentially looking into it in the future for track purposes. However, you aren't gaining much by doing just because these cars are so light the drums and can handle the job. There was a write up on yarisworld if I remember correctly of what all you need to be able to convert it over easily.
I'm sure it could save some weight up top by deleting the booster but personally I want the car to be a comfortable racecar. I know that may sound odd but I've gone full race car build before on other cars to the point they weren't enjoyable to drive. I want this to be somewhere in the middle of a street car and track car. Basically something anyone could hop in on a track and learn how to drive without any special instructions.
Im so glad i flund this video man, these cars have such tiny brakes. Ive insralled the powerstop kit with the slotted rotors and carbon fiber/ ceramic pads and its still just not enough IMO. Have you ran into any issues with this upgrade and or have you seen / felt justified improvement to braking performance? ( i subbed and liked for ya)
Thank you very much for the sub and like! As far as the brakes go so far I have had zero issues out of my upgrade to the Corolla setup. The only real issue I can say would be the stoptech brake lines are a little too short. They work perfectly fine but the mounting brackets do not line up. Going forward I may try Corolla stoptech brake lines and see if they are longer. Overall though I'm extremely happy with the outcome of the brakes.
Significant difference? I have a non ABS 08 hatch and I'm thinking of doing this in the front cause it just feels like its not a good stock brake set up with good stopping. Had the rears done recently which helped but I'm thinking this may be the way to go.
I highly recommend the Sparco 15" FF-1 as they are 15lb per wheel and you can fit 15" X 8" with good rubber (NITTO Neo Gens are working well) Did you find a solution like this for the rear brakes? I would love to install discs on the rear.... (2008 Yaris S Hatchback)
I'll be sure to look into those wheels and tires thanks for the recommendation! You can do a rear disc conversion but you have to use the rear beam out of a 2014+ Yaris SE. It's been well documented on Yarisworld.
@@abrahamgsolis you will need to upgrade to an alloy or steel that clears the calipers. The factory wheel does not. However, I use a set of Mini Cooper alloy wheels that are 15" that barely clear but they work great just be sure to use hub centric rings and the correct lug nuts. Perfect to keep miles off my track tires.
@@TheInteriorAutoMechanic thank you! I currently have 15 inch stock steel wheels I wonder if they’ll work. Also how was the difference in stopping? Was it a huge difference?
@@TheInteriorAutoMechanic yes but 2011 model year has two different styles of front sway bar, one to accommodate long sway bar end link that's mounted to the shock and the earlier one has a short link mounted to lower control arm, I assume they can both fit all I have to go is use one link ste or the other?

Wait, you tow a lot with your Yaris?
@@willythewyno yeah I haul scrap metal and firewood.

You know anything about the rear disc conversion?

There was a write up on yarisworld if I remember correctly of what all you need to be able to convert it over easily.
I wonder if a manual brake conversion would save a lil weight uptop by losing the booster (but will need a different master cyl wouldnt it)

Same wheels on my yaris!
I think they look really good!

I found my chrome center caps (they dont sit flush tho) on the e of bay - Universal 4X 56mm Car Wheel Center Caps
Thank you for the information I'll have to buy some of those!

Will this swap work with stock stamped steal 🛞 wheel? Or you must upgrade?

@@abrahamgsolis 15" stock wheels will not work. And yes quite a bit of improvement on stopping.
what options for front sway bars are for this chassis? i cannot find anything for the 2011 only 2010 and before
Cusco or whiteline I believe are your only two options
