The brace is ineffective for sway/roll reduction without a proper sway bar. What it does is just create massive toe out under heavy cornering (heavy oversteer). It maintains the same horizontal distance between the two suspension points, but does not maintain the same loads, due to the pivots. It's absolutely useless without a sway bar. Just try jacking up one side and you'll see how much out of whack the toe can get with that useless thing. I have it.

Unfortunately, TRD of Japan does not have the Yaris/Vios sway bar available, and the only manufacturer is Ultra-Racing.

Toe out does not equal oversteer. Thats rotation yo.
