Toyota Yaris and Echo Coilovers

Toyota used the Yaris name on hatchbacks, sedans and the GR rally hatch, and the Echo came before them. We carry twenty-two sets of Toyota Yaris and Echo coilovers. Most fit only one generation, and the iA sedans have kits of their own.

Call 1-800-460-9106 and tell us if you have the hatch, sedan or iA.

Animated illustration. It shows where coilovers sit on a car, not your exact kit. Depending on the car and the kit, coilovers can lean forward or back or stand straight up, and some cars use a separate spring and shock in the rear. Your ride height depends on the kit and how it is set up.

Badge, body and year: what to check first

Three questions narrow down the kit.

Which badge

The iA badges and the last Yaris Sedan take different kits from the hatch.

Hatch or sedan

BC's and Ksport's third-generation kits are made for the hatchback. Ksport makes a separate kit for the XP150 sedan.

Model year

Bilstein's B14 kit covers two generations. Most other Yaris coilovers fit only one generation.

BC Racing coilovers for the Yaris family

Six BC kits, Echo to Yaris Sedan

BC Racing makes these series for the Toyota Yaris and Echo: BR, DS, ER, RM and ZX. Free shipping on BC Racing kits in the continental US. Only the second-generation kit adds ER and ZX, and RM comes on the Echo and iA-family kits.

Five BC series on a small car

Here is what each BC series does.

BR and DS

On BC Racing BR coilovers, one knob with 30 clicks sets compression and rebound together. DS uses the same knob, plus a digressive piston, which holds the body firmer and still eases off on sharp bumps.

RM is BC's inverted (upside-down) monotube, made for strut cars.

ER and ZX

ER is an upright shock with an external oil reservoir, and compression and rebound each get their own 30 clicks. BC calls ZX "most track-tested."

Before you buy: what Yaris and Echo owners run into

What Yaris and Echo owners report most often, from owner forums, recalls and service bulletins, and what each point means for your coilovers.

Limited factory camber adjustment

GR Yaris (GXPA16)

GR-Zoo owners say rear camber changes whenever rear toe is adjusted on the stock arms, and one owner says a dealer alignment fell short of the front camber they asked for. A suspension shop says front camber is not adjustable from the factory. Lowering changes camber, and without extra adjustment the alignment shop may not hit your numbers.

Before you install: Decide on alignment targets before the install, and ask whether front camber bolts or adjustable rear arms are needed to reach them.

Front clunk from the lower control arm bolts

Second Yaris (XP90), 2007 to 2011, and 2012 Yaris

Toyota bulletin T-SB-0078-12 covers a front clunk on acceleration, braking or rough roads in 2007 to 2012 Yaris, fixed by new No. 2 front lower control arm bolts. Owners on TrueDelta and CarComplaints report these bolts rusting and snapping, mostly on 2007 to 2010 cars. Rusted bolts are a safety issue coilovers will not fix.

Before you install: Inspect the No. 2 lower control arm bolts for rust before the install, and replace corroded ones with new bolts torqued to spec.

Front strut mount bearing recall

2015 Yaris built January 13 to February 27, 2015

Toyota recall G0S (NHTSA 16V367) covers front strut mount bearings that a big bump can damage, causing noise on rough roads or when steering. If you keep driving on it, the top of the strut rod can come apart. Dealers fit improved bearings. Do not reuse a damaged bearing with a coilover kit.

Before you install: Run the VIN for recall 16V367 before the install, and check which top mounts and bearings your kit uses.

Questions about the iA, the sedan and the GR

Does a Yaris hatchback kit fit the Yaris iA?

No. The iA badges and the last Yaris Sedan have their own kits from BC and TEIN.

What fits the XP150 sedan?

Ksport makes one. BC's kit for those years is made for the hatchback, so call us.

Which kits come in ER and ZX?

Only the second-generation Yaris FWD kit does. The others come in BR, DS or RM, and the third-generation hatch kit in BR or DS.

Is there a GR Yaris kit?

Yes, there is one: an Öhlins Road & Track kit.

Are there Echo kits?

Yes: BC's Vios/Echo kit, KW's P1 kit and TEIN's Street Basis Z.

What warranty do BC Yaris kits carry?

BC Racing North America currently lists a two-year limited warranty on full kit orders, subject to its warranty terms. TEIN, KW and the other brands set their own.
