Picked up a lowish mileage (81k miles) 2008 lift back last week, loved it in the city and on county roads.....but hated it on the interstate. It was all over the place at any speed over 70mph.
The car just drifted all over it's lane, and it got blown around by wind and the wind wash from the other cars and trucks on the road, and it plain did not feel safe.:iono:
A google search quickly pointed out the YW forums and thanks to all the favorable posts regarding the rear sway bar, I went ahead and got the TRD one for my car and installed it yesterday.
This is a (rare) product that works as advertised, and I'm super impressed with the way my car now cruises down the turnpike, the speed limit here is only 65 but the "pack" goes anywhere from 75 to 80 mph and my car now feels comfortable keeping up and dicing through the trucks.
Yesterday was also very windy with gusts up to 20mph and the wind did not knock me around either.
In the city the handling became flatter (much less body roll) and more precise, the car is a sweet little city go-kart, so I liked it there as well.
Great in the city, feels like a normal sized car on the freeway, only downside is the cost which seems kind of high for a metal bar.
All in all I'm super happy with this car now that it is working like it should have from the factory.
