front anti-sway bars

i have the TRD rear antisway bar installed and it is a definite handling improvement.i was looking into fromt ones, but it looks like they prevent the front suspension from being independent is that true?

Yes, it's true. A swaybar links the two sides of the suspension together and makes an independent suspension less independent. The stiffer the bar, the less independent the two sides of the car become.

As mentioned above, the Yaris already has a front swaybar. Not a big one, so the suspension remains relatively independent. And you don't want a larger front bar. A larger front bar on a FWD car is just going to make the understeer worse.

storage or hauling? Can't imagine what you'd want to store in a car
