Dude, almost all of the Yaris chassis parts will work on the xD... They are built on the same base.

I posted a thread about this when I put the Yaris bar on my xD months ago.

Excuse the guy for trying to add helpful information to the site, not everyone knows that they share the same base. Really the "duh" posts are unnecessary.

Other than the fitment, he is also going out and using his name to get you what seems to be a discount,sometimes I dont understand why people spread the hate for stuff like this.

Anyway, thanks for the info.

From Looking at the site, and from what I can see, looks like 19 - 23mm

The TRD swaybar for the xD is the same as the one for the Yaris... and its 19mm

Microimage offers a 19mm option and a 23mm for the hardcore folks.

One of the best suspension mods.

Get it cheaper from microimageonline.com... Top notch service!!

Thank everyone that was helping to explain things to others... lol

I was on vacation in LA and stopped by to see Garam at MicroImage... He is the man for Yaris / XD parts...

If you up to the best handling go with his 23mm - its also priced way better than the TRD and Garam will never steer you wrong.

I will be picking this up for my project xD - Will match up great with the Tokico Shocks and struts I have...

Only item that may not work out with our rides is the rear brace... It did not seem to clear the DC-Sport exhaust we are sporting...

Any other ideas... let me know...

Too bad you've already got the Tokico stuff. Though great stuff it is, especially for a lowered xD, all the coilovers they make for the Yaris will fit the xD...

However the xD is a tad bit heavier than the Yaris... so not sure how the springs are... but the tokico stuff is great... very happy with it...

Camber and Castor parts SHOULD fit... But I'm not sure. As for sway bars and strut tower braces, all of that is shared so yes it will fit.

I was thinking about going with the TRD Lowering Springs, TRD Shock Absorbers and the TRD Sway Bar on my 2010 XD... Question???
1. Will I have the ability for 100% alignment after the springs have settled?
2. Has anyone had any long term issues with such modification's? ( Any issues with part failure's ETC...) Thanks for your help!!!
