2009 Sedan with TRD Sway Bar - What a Diff

Hello all:

Long time lurker here. Finally pushed my self over the decision barrier two weeks ago and and had the TRD Sway Bar installed on my '09 Sedan.

Wow...what a diff. This is a whole new car. The rear end stays planted and the car tracks like I wish it had since day one.

This is one "gotta have" accessory in my opinion.

Thanks for the great web site.

Tom

Isn't it just incredible the improvement it makes.
I've said it before. Yaris should come from the factory with the rear anti-sway bar. Much more stable and nimble = much safer.

Enjoy!

I agree...this should be standard equipment. The price of the car would not increase appreciably if the bar were part of the standard package. Factory cost of the bar is probably in the ball park of under $50US.

In other news, I am glad that I keep reading posts here. I was so thrilled by the sway bar, I thought, ok a Strut bar in the front may be a good idea too.

From what I have read here, I am glad I did not spend the money there.

Thanks Tom

If you were to lower your sedan with MI's springs you would notice even more of an improvement for handling and enjoyment.
