So can you be "red" with envy, or is it just green? :biggrin: Looks great, I bet it handles pretty nice now.

are there no rear upper shock support bars, b or c pillar bars? You pull the back seats out and you get crazy body roll since the seat actully stiffened up the rear

strut tower bar has a much cleaner installed look than the tanabe
how does it feel? do you feel a difference from the front and rear changes?

The TRD item does look more clean but it only has two bolt points on each tower as opposed to the three that Tanabe has. I don't know if the number of mounting points even matters but the Tanabe item also has adjustable pre-load, from what I recall.

yea definitely feel the difference. and after those tie bars... don't get mad at me for this but the steering is tight like a virgin. compared to stock. i just had my friend drive it. 1st time he drove it stock. was not impressed this time he was like dude I'm not even trying and it just goes. i just started laughing and told him to rip on it for a little. he has an 04 honda accord... funny how "honda" is spelled wrong in the spell check

Yeah, the rears cost way too much for my cheap ass. I've been trying to find a cheap alternative.

Wellllllllll? It's no longer Sunday afternoon and no pics? Tsk Tsk tsk. No to bust on ya big but there never seems to be a follow up on your "projects" or "problems".
Still waiting to hear back about the "botch" spoiler, did you get your windshield fixed and did i cost you any $$$ out of pocket? Foglights? You toss these things out, people take the time to lend their knowledge to help and nothing.
Again, I'm not cracking your ass but you got some of us hanging here.
Thanks and keep up the good work. Your Yaris is looking good.

The front strut bar probably doesn't help much, but the rear one should help a lot, especially since the seats are keeping things together back there. lol
