Toyota GR Yaris Shock Absorbers & Suspension

Which variants this covers

This page covers the GXPA16 GR Yaris only. It shares a name with the ordinary Yaris and almost nothing else — the GR is a three-door, all-wheel-drive homologation car with a wider track, different geometry and its own subframes. Parts listed for a standard Yaris will not fit it. The High Performance Edition left the factory with a different differential and damper specification from the base car.

Choosing between the ranges

With five listings the selection is small but it is pointed at the right things for this car. Flex Z is the coilover to choose for a GR Yaris that still does road miles — full-length height adjustment with sixteen damping settings, which lets you set a sensible road height and firm it up for a track day without changing parts. Mono Racing is the serious circuit option and is stocked in reasonable depth for a car this scarce, which says something about what owners do with them. S.Tech springs are the mildest change available, lowering the car on the dampers it already has. There is no Bilstein coverage for the GR Yaris at present.

What to check before ordering

Fit per axle and have the car corner-weighted as well as aligned afterwards — on a short, powerful all-wheel-drive car the setup makes a larger difference than the hardware does. Before ordering, establish whether yours is a High Performance Edition, because the factory damper specification differs and the listings separate on that basis rather than on the model year.

Common questions for this chassis

Will standard Yaris parts fit? No. The GR is a different car under the badge.

Flex Z or Mono Racing? Flex Z for road use; Mono Racing only if the car is tracked seriously.

Is Bilstein stocked? Not for this model at the moment.
