Rear Sway Bar - Toyota Yaris Forums

Silver Streak · 06-07-2013, 02:57 PM

Installed my Trd rear sway bar today. It's pretty wet up here in Mass today so I haven't gone too crazy testing it out, but corners much flatter and just feels tighter over all.

Yes, the rear sway bay can make a dramatic difference in handling.
IMO, it gives you the most bang for the buck than any other thing you can do for your suspension .

^ Agreed!

And those big rigs won't blow you off the highway any longer.
Soooo much more relaxing.

Update: Day two with the sway bar. I swear it's like driving a different car. Corners flat, and just over all more stable. I highly recommend this mode.

Too bad when I checked with the local Toyota dealer they said the TRD rear sway bar is not available in Canada.

Silver Streak · 06-08-2013, 10:57 PM

Edmscan, check out trdsparks.com That's where I got mine at a good price. microimage also has a couple of sway bars as well.

Thanks .. though I am trying to find something in Canada, as shipping across the border is less than desirable, especially when shipping UPS. But I am in no hurry to make a purchase.

Did you test it on Storrow Dr?

Silver Streak · 06-10-2013, 07:57 PM

No I don't get into Boston much ( By choice ). I have tested it on a few curvy roads out in the burbs though

Hershey · 06-08-2013, 11:07 PM

Plan to get one installed before the winter . The rear of the sedan seems a bit squirmy when driving on snow covered roads . Hopefully that'll help with stability . Use Blizzak WS 70s in winter .

Thanks .. do you know anyplace in Canada that sells them (like the TRD model) ? But if need be I will order from Micro Image. I just hate the whole shipping thing across the border, but I imagine they will be accommodating.

Hershey · 06-09-2013, 02:25 PM

Will get it through a TOYOTA dealer . Certain dealers have coupons ( download and print ) that discount parts . Some up to 20% . Look under parts department of TOYOTA dealer sites . Some charge more than others for the sway bar and install , so shop around . May be able to get one to match other dealer . Cheapest I found was a little under $220 for part and install . Not that pricey .

enviri · 06-09-2013, 04:19 PM

hell give me $220 and i'll give u mine and install it lol

cali yaris · 06-09-2013, 04:48 PM

^ Then I'll send you a Whiteline for $195.

There you have it! Better Bar, better price.

cali yaris · 06-09-2013, 06:44 PM

If Hershey is in Canada, a local source will probably be cheaper. My post was to send one to enviri after he sends his to.... and so on...

Hershey · 06-10-2013, 12:05 AM

I can deal with $220 for part and installation. If it helps the handling . Then worth it .
