What counts is you are happy. Congratulations.

Yes, 23mm. Install was pretty straight forward. I was stubborn and tried without taking the wheels off, but ended up doing so. It mounts using the bolt from the rear shock and an additional bolt is provided that goes through a hole a few inches forward (2nd pic). Pretty sturdy in my opinion.

first pic is from passenger side, behind door, towards driver rear tire. Second is passenger rear, and third is from behind the car.

Ah! so youre the one that got the last 23mm! i was about to get it!!!

Thank you for posting the photos OH yaris, looks very nice. I was curious how is this swaybar installed without any bushings and I got my answer.

Yes, it looks like a very sturdy and simple installation. Also there is no worries about bushings wearing out.

23 MM UR seems out of stock (( (I already want one))))))))

23 mm >>>> 19mm
bigger is better

no need to take the wheels off. if it takes you more then 10mins your doing it wrong. best 7minute mod ive ever done to a car.

That's pretty quick, well done! You're invited to help whenever the next project comes up. I'm still learning as I go...

I don't understand what that means. Correct, it's another company's product?
We sell both.

[spocksleftball]

Will there be any ultra 25mm forthcoming? The whiteline looks...well...iffy

sorry to confuse you
just want to say that this thread are talking about the ultra racing and not whitelines

and yes you sell both, and at a good price too!
i just cannot understanf why in indonesia they sell the 23mm at $225, far more higher than you, consider that indonesia is malaysia (ultra racing manufacturer) neighbour. i suspect not the shipping cost is that big, maybe our import tax are higher

I would imagine it is stiffer, as my Yaris is 4 Dr. Sedan which has much more weight in the aft end and I did not like the stiffer setting. I would think it would be even more aggressive with hatchbacks. The nice feature for me was it is adjustable by choosing the forward or aft hole.
Even after reading all the comments I would still choose the Whiteline, but I had the advantage of improving the center bushings “U” bolts.
With all due respect to "allyart" comment not being a racing product, I am somewhat puzzled as, after all it is only a swaybar. If the one wheel hits the bump the other wheel is forced to go up as well. If the bar is too stiff you will end up with undesirable condition which I had experienced with stiffer setting. With Whiteline I had the choice to adjust it to my liking and know that I am at my limit.
Since Whiteline is a 22 mm bar I believe it is likely stiffer due to the center bushings configuration. I would have a hard time to think that one would want to have Whiteline bar set on stiff setting in the hatchback car, unless the road is super smooth and driver is in the manic mode.
By the way if the picture on Micro Image website is any indication, the bar is set in it’s softer setting (the end hole)

The 23mm UR rear sway is wayyyy stiffer than the TRD one. With the combination of lowering and this suspension add-on, the feeling of the vehicle definitely changes in characteristic. Definitely one of the best mods/value you can get for your car as the Yaris does feel a bit floaty to begin with..

[cali yaris]

and driver is in the manic mode.

that would be me.

Perhaps I missed it somewhere, but what MM is the TRD bar anyway?
