Handling for the Yaris is ok considering that it is a small car. However handling during windy conditions is poor.

Yep! Stock suspension is pretty bubble-like around the bends, a few modifications make a world of difference.

I have only driven my 2009 5 door LB 900 km so far but already HATE the uneasy feel on the highway in windy conditions... what can I do to improve it?

Quick, cheap, noticable difference? Rear Sway Bar

Thanks, great idea...where do I get one and how much?

Contact Caliyaris (garm, microimage) He has a progress one for cheaper than the trd version. TRDsparks.com has the rear TRD sway bar, that is where I got mine from.

Thanks...and I just found the DIY install in the suspension forum

Will different shocks and struts also help the handling on the highway...Iam lowered with TRD springs and 205/40/17's with TRD rear swaybar and still gets kind of goofy on the freeway....
