Did anyone ever test out a larger front swaybar on their STF class Yaris? I know it was discussed, but never heard anyone say if they had actually installed one and tested it. I'm leaning toward adding this as one of my next STF mods, but wanted input before spending the cash!
Yes. The front sway bar rocks. Does NOT cause more understeer.

yea, probably doesn't. Adam Neylans with his honda fit runs with a front sway bar but not a rear. says it helps with his cornering. Not sure how. Driving styles I assume.

I would play with tire pressures a bit more before jumping on a front sway bar personally

My reason for asking is simple, I live on a long dirt road, so could not do coil-overs without trailering my car to events. So I went with a simpler and cheaper Tokico HP, TRD spring set up, so I can still drive to and from events. However this set up is proving not quit stiff enough and a larger front bar seemed the next logical step. Was hoping someone had actually run a similar set up and could give some feedback on their experience.
