My old Geo Metro was even worse, especially with bad tires.
Geo Metro curb weight around 1700 lbs.
Toyota Yaris curb weight around 2300 lbs.
At least there is a little more weight.

Try driving a box.... I am lowered and 3 inches wider in the rear and 2 inches wider in the front and the wind still sux

i used to get blow all over the place back when it was stock but now with the coilovers, sway bar and wider tires it stays where i want it.

I drive ove r a high 2-mile-long bridge over the open water every day, and the wind can be a biyatch. I fixed it by going to 16" wheels and lowerr and stiffer sidewalls. No worries now.

YAR1S · 12-06-2008, 09:55 AM

the wind whacks my yaris around too. I also find that my yaris' tires fall in the grooves made by heavy trucks and it pulls the car in odd directions at times.

iwantayarisnyc · 12-06-2008, 09:57 AM

thanks everyone for the inputs! can anyone tell me which sway bar should i use?

SilverBack · 12-07-2008, 02:50 AM

Yeah for sure it does! Kinda scary sometimes when a quick gust comes out of nowhere and t-bones mine on the freeway...
