Ultra Racing rear sway bar - Toyota Yaris Forums

Ratz · 03-21-2012, 11:40 PM

Ultra Racing make 19mm and 23mm type. Not sure what size I should use for my 2011 Sedan. I do not want to make the car rough riding, as after all it is a Sedan driven gently.

Also, if there is a different brand (better) I would concider it.

Any input would be appreciated.

The 19mm is just fine for street use with spirited driving

yariseggvvti · 03-22-2012, 03:43 AM

23mm,23mm,23mm. Rough riding only when you lower and replace the shocks. I got stock suspension but with all the Ultra racing bars. You will feel a big difference when you making a tight corner turn. Also,UR available rear stabilizer bar too.

I got the 23mm for my DD and I love it .
Yes, it will stiffen the rear suspension a bit like either sway bar will but in a great way. You wiil no longer feel like you are driving a boat.

In any event, it can not in any way be considered harsh, or rough riding.....just balanced between the front and rear. Keep in mind that the Yaris already has a good stock front sway bar.

It has be said that one can not reallly feel the difference between the 19mm and the 23 mm until you reallly push the car and then, you can feel the benefits of the 23mm bar.

So, get either one from UR and you wiil not be disapointed!

I have a 23mm on my sedan and couldnt imagine going smaller

cali yaris · 04-12-2012, 05:19 PM

These bars don't change handling in a straight line, they don't make the suspension stiffer that way, though the car will resist buffeting from winds and passing semis a LOT better.

What about that Nitto Rear lower shock brace? Ive seen it in your store and am curious. What is the difference between that and the sway bar? Does it stiffen the dampening of the rear suspension? Or does it stiffen like a sway bar, side to side?

cali yaris · 04-12-2012, 06:03 PM

The sway bar (actually a torsion bar with a beam rear axle like we have) resists twisting by transferring weight to the OPPOSITE FRONT corner. Preventing roll translates into more traction on the front inside tire.

The rear trailing arm brace (rear underbrace) boxes in the trailing arm - beam - trailing arm "U" shape, providing more stiffness, and resistance to deformation. The rear of the car feels "tighter" or "crisper" with this brace in place.

randeez · 04-12-2012, 06:26 PM

from someone with the 19mm....

get the 23mm

I will probably upgrade mine at some point, the 19mm is a lot better then not having one by leaps and bounds, i can only imagine the 23mm is that much better with really no ill effects. i dont really drive hard, but i do still notice a little getting blown around, and i'm sure tires/rims will probably suffice for me since i'm still way up in the air with only an inch drop. however as slow as i go on the highways people wondering wtf i'm doing when i dont bother slowing down to get off an offramp is great

1.5 · 04-12-2012, 07:16 PM

I speed up for on ramps

cali yaris · 04-12-2012, 08:24 PM

^ LOL, yeah that's the spirit!

chewychewbacca · 04-12-2012, 09:36 PM

I went from 19mm to 23mm and it was a noticeable difference for me especially on the freeway...

randeez · 04-12-2012, 10:03 PM

yes, i hear my babysmama gasp everytime i wing it towards an offramp if shes with me.

OH yaris · 04-18-2012, 11:58 AM

glad to see a consensus on the 23mm size... placing order shortly. thanks to all contributors. I'll update with my experience once it's on and driven around for a bit.

randeez · 04-18-2012, 12:54 PM

i'll sell you my 19mm so i can get a 23mm

OH yaris · 04-18-2012, 02:24 PM

^ haha, funny! I ordered from Micro Image and already received the shipping confirmation and tracking number. the order confirmation email and tracking number email were 46 minutes apart; crazy fast!

randeez · 04-18-2012, 03:25 PM

definitely, i ordered mine through them (him) ,on back order i believe, and i still received within a week all the way across the country

Jeff@MicroImage · 04-18-2012, 06:22 PM

For those that haven't picked yet, make sure to consider the Whiteline 22mm Adjustable rear bar and the Nitto rear underbrace.
