Which Rear Swaybar Would You Choose?

Great questions.

When I mean "zero downside", I am including most of your concerns. No reports of noise, doglegging, or properly installed bolts/nuts coming loose from the several sway bars I've sold so far. I can only answer to this point in time, as I don't have a long history with Whiteline. Yet!

I'm going to switch on my own car and give some feedback from the track. I could make some predictions, but I think it's best not to do that.

Customer Service: Huge point, glad you brought it up. Problem or flaw with UR bar: it's 100% on me, I can't send it back to Malaysia or get a replacement, etc. I have to be real and start including that in my pricing.

Whiteline is here and 100% responsive to us. I can get parts, replacements, etc. and the shipping cost from the Malaysia to the USA doesn't have to be passed on to you guys.

Does this mean they carry a warranty? I have never been able to find a performance/racing part the carried a true warranty at least as far as re-place goes. The fine print usually indicates for off-road use only and no warranty if used for racing purposes. Can you let us know what is covered and what limitations are specified.

I would consider the TRD bar because if it becomes a port installed (factory) option for the 2012, like it was for the previous gen car, you would not be actually using the stock class swaybar allowance leaving the front bar open to change. ;)

Good point and my car being a 2010 falls under those guidelines already, interesting!! Haven't had time to do much experimenting with the Yaris handling, but most of my previous FWD racecars, performed better without a front bar on the race track. Bar worked good right up to the point I added a LSD, then it was plow city, no amount of tweakin' made it go way. Then one day I disconnect the front bar and Oh My God what a difference!!

Not sure why I thought you were talking about a 2012.

@Jeff, yeah there is a portion of that warranty that states, that any product sold maked "Race", "Competition", or "Off-Road Only" will not be covered, that is what usually gets us gear heads is the fine print!!
