Installing New KW Suspension and Endless Brakes on the GR Yaris!

[@davidsmall7676]

The Yaris is going to be extraordinary. Manthey should give you credit then market this as the GR MR!!!

[@faisalleeds]

GR Yaris content will always go down well! Looking forward to seeing this on the track.

You had any problems with the calliper piston boots melting with the heat from the brake pads? There’s a few UK lads fitting titanium shims to cure it. I’m also after some Endless for mine but I usually use ME22. How are the ME20’s lasting and how aggressive are they on the rotors. Cheers

Mantheys facilities look so sleek and modern, I love it! It does make a difference if you work in a clean well lit modern place or in a dark old dirty one.

Damn the KW's look so good next to the stock suspension. I am sure they perfrom the part too. Some pov yaris driving would be great when it's done.

[@karlwilliams8208]

Thanks for another interesting GR Yaris video. I hope you list the settings you end up using, camber and all associated information. Also as I’m sure this will lower the car a little bit can you please tell us if the 265 section tyres have any clearance/rubbing problems. 👍🏻

[@MT-eb2dx]

20mm is the minimum lowering. I believe, that there will be a problem with the arches.. I am very curious what is going to happen! On the contrary, there are other 255 section tire cars out there, not sure if they are lowered though

[@karlwilliams8208]

I wanted to go 255 35 19 but eventually was persuaded to go 255 3518. I live in Australia and will call KW tomorrow re coil over parts. I really want to thank you for replying as I know you’d receive a huge amount of comments, it’s truly impressive. Hopefully I’ll come to Apex when Covid is a thing of the past. I have a GR so I’m keen to see you build. 👍🏻

[@YachtReport]

Misha one question: did you get the suspension for free? Did you get £25k plus kick backs on any future sales?

[@andrelakay4750]

Hi Misha. I'm getting to like thr GR YARIS more and more each time I see it.

Thanks for the explanations Misha

[@bokiNYC]

Great, thanks for all the videos, appreciate the effort that goes in. I'm dreaming about visiting the Ring one day and rent a car or fee from Apex guys. Is there a chance you could do a video about the exact suspension setup on this GR Yaris? Like how exactly is all the compression and rebound set up for the Ring and why. Maybe even have a in car video of the lap and explaining the suspension setup at most important corners on the Ring and how it affects the handling of the car compared to stock suspension. These KW Clubsport 3-ways look amazing, they must feel amazing too. I'm thinking about getting me a set of V3's for my '19 Mini JCW so I could play around with different settings for a few track days I'll be attending this year.

[@ThePowerJon]

Ah, so that’s how you got that unlimited lap ticket, nice little kick back... oh wait... must have been your third party advisors 😆

[@sakdipathanajira4512]

What are the specs of the new wheel? My yaris is coming this july would like to run the same wheel spec!

[@ConCBis]

Is there a reason you're bringing the Yaris to Manthey Racing instead of installing the parts yourself? Your mechnanic sure would know to install those things, wouldn't he? Is it to stay connected and/or media presence, or you just think they are doing a great job? (which they obviously do). Thanks in advance, All the best and see you in April.

[@RobertMitchell]

We could certainly install parts but the garage is in Cupra build mode and keep in mind that often a car is not just a sum of parts but a complete package as built by MR, Räder, Schirmer etc. They had a Vision for the car, it’s set up and we wanted to work together on it.

[@ConCBis]

@@RobertMitchell Thanks for the quick reply. Makes totally sense. Thanks for the insight and keep up the great work. If it's alright for all of you, i'll stop by for a quick "hello" next time i'm at the ring. Cheers. Edit: Looking forward to the "complete Manthey built" of the Yaris once its done. Makes me want to get one even more.

Wider tires don't give better traction... They just allow to keep that traction (heat management etc.)

@@piciu256 Not true, there is a maximum wideness for optimum grip for a given car.

[@piciu256]

@@MT-eb2dx that's true, but more than that doesn't equal better, and narrower only really gives less grip, because the material is overstressed, as in overheated etc. that's assuming the same rubber compound etc. anyway, only really meant to dispute the idea of "immense forces" on the car, because of the wider tires, it's the compound that matter here, not width.

Why does the KW suspension look so puny compared to the stock suspension? OEM mcp struts definitely look more robust. Is it just that track oriented stuff doesn’t not have to be as sturdy as a gravel setup? Reiger suspension for example is thick as

In terms of Apex investment to ensure the car is balls out awesome to drive for the many, many people that end up renting the GR Yaris, how much (roughly) would you say you have invested in the modifications? And I'm asking this as an example of your continued commitment to providing the best possible experience for your customers.

Hey Misha, three questions. #1 will you be changing the rear trailing arms for camber adjustment? #2 I couldn't quite tell but are the front brake lines braided at all? I've not heard of Endless in the UK, what are the wet and dry boiling points of the brake fluid compared to other well known brands. ✌️

[@mgcharoudin]

Probably not. All the lines are exchanged for braided. Dry boiling point: 622 F/ 328 C Wet boiling point: 424 F/218 C

Misho, the tyres you spec'd are quite a bit wider, and also a bit lower profile than the stock 225/40R18 tyres. Did that cause any issues with setup?

Maybe a stupid question, but a hear a lot of good things about pagid rs29 brake pads on ringtools. Is there a reason why you went with endless? Looking for some good trackday brake pads for k-sport calipers.

[@Luki_Luki_Luki]

How is the KW in a daily life ? I am also looking at this option but am afraid that lowering GR with KW will cause that engine will be too close to road. Have mine lowered with HR springs and already now engine cover is pretty close to tarmac and has been harmed few times…

H&R springs lower the car 35mm. The KW lowers the car minimum 25mm, so you would have 10mm more clearance
