Need more input.

New Yaris? Old Yaris? How many miles? Might just need new shocks.

What sort of "not smoothness" is bothering you? Bumps? Railroad tracks? Washboard roads?

What tires do you have on the car (size, model and brand) and what pressure do you have them inflated to?

I have 07 42000km base 14" stock yaris. Tires is 35psi. i have it for few weeks. No mod yet.

i used to drive bigger car, x5. When i switch to yaris, i keep feeling my body keep pushing around, shaking. i considered the rear sway bar before but i heard ppl said it actually made the ride more rough. i only want to make the ride more stable.

Thanks for the input.

I wouldn't call the ride more rough at all, perhaps more sporty. It keeps the back tires on the ground a little more, so you do feel the road a little bit more, but I think it is more than worth it to keep the body from rolling every which way.

"When i switch to yaris, i keep feeling my body keep pushing around"

^^ That is EXACTLY what the rear sway bar prevents.
