Thanks Tooter! Finally, after just shy of 2 years ownership, ordered one for my birthday from TRDSparks.com - PTR11 - 52071. Really looking forward to this mod! I know it will make me love this hot rod even more, LOL!

Wow, It came in 2 days, very quick but only 250 miles away. Awesome, Really looking forward to the way it help to make the car handle better.

Color matched, too. It's like your car knew it needed it.

Hmmm maybe that would explain that odd noise... Gone have to look into it more

It's going on today, I'm excited! (along with a tire rotation & state inspection) Oil change next week (Mag1 5W-30 & a WIX filter) Will be set for the Summer!!!

It's On, YES! VERY nice! Awesome, car needs this from the factory! Tightens the car up nicely, love it, love it, love it! May be a placebo affect, but it actually seems to make the car feel more 'solid' just driving it. I would imagine any of the braces, cross-braces they make for the Yaris would eliminate some body flex but I'm not an engineer, I'm a brain surgeon

Thanks Tooter - reading your (this) original post (along with everyone's positive comments) made me say 'Oh yeah, I'm gettin' this!'

I'll be getting a trd sway bar soon, i just bought my 08 yaris a month ago & noticed cornering is sloppy & unstable in the rear especially going over bumps on turns. Nice write ups on sway bars here!

I certainly noticed the difference after I installed mine. Great add-on!

The TRD rear sway bar is the best money you can spend on this car.

ern-diz · 04-10-2017, 12:29 PM

Arguably?

tmontague · 04-10-2017, 12:44 PM

It's is definitely money well spent but I'd say that tires are still the best place to put money for performance gains, or even lowering , those made big difference. Mind you, all of those cost varying amounts of $

I have to agree with you. I just bought tires and figured most would handle relatively similar on our cars but in fact, I was mistaken. I purchased Sumimoto A/S tires and they cause my car to wander at higher speeds quite severely, especially when driven over uneven pavement. I have learned a lot from you guys on this site and I'm already looking forward to my next set of tires.
