Re: Activa 180HP Yaris

Ever tried taking a elbow bend in one of these at 60mph? Don't. I know coz I own one with LOWERED and STIFFENED suspension. The thing is so top heavy, it's a miracle we didn't roll.

Well obviously you can't take an elbow bend same speed with a sports car than with a Yaris/Vitz because each car has its limit but honestly the Yaris/Vitz is not so bad as you say and if you lowered and stiffened it maybe you got the wrong settings.

With the weight of the Celica motor in the Yaris/Vitz it won't roll for sure but it could very easily understeer and go straight in the corner.

Re: Activa 180HP Yaris

um, if it feels like it's going to roll, then doesn't that mean that your suspension is maybe too stiff?
