Question Exactly what can transferred from the Yaris to the xD?
I have been looking at several suspension/chassis parts on microimage.com and they are so much cheaper then the gear from Tanabe and Greddy. I know both cars share the same chassis but will these aftermarket parts bolt up the same?

as i have been preaching, be aware that spring rates for a Yaris are much lighter than for an xD. but engine layouts are the same. the Xd variant in Japan comes equipped with a 1.5l too. so intakes from various companies in Japan will also work. I have found ( what is called gungrip in Japan) steering wheels with Daihatsu logos on the airbag cover. So to think you can have a racing inspired steering wheel that fits the airbag in it is cool. you gotta think further outside the box

Not really interested in doing steering or intake swaps lol. I just don't want to pay high end prices for tanabe products when microimage stuff is just as good.

isn't a D heavier than a Yaris? I didn't go with Silk Road Coilovers because of the spring rate difference. That makes me nervous when it comes to suspension. I'd rather have something made for the xD, than hit or miss with Yaris components
