The stock tires have *huge* amounts of sidewall flex, which is probably the #1 culprit. Be midful about just going wider - wider does not always mean a stiffer sidewall. I changed mine to 215/45R17's and the improvement in handling and stability is night and day.

I don't know about US Yarii, but the Thai LB I've got came with a ~1" front swaybar, but nothing on the rear. The front swaybar is actually pretty beefy - it's probably as thick as you'd ever need on sugh a light car.
