dc sports strut bar vs tannabe - Toyota Yaris Forums

YarisSedan · 01-30-2009, 09:34 PM

I was looking at the ds sports bar cause i kinda like the neutral color. Its slightly more expensive but looks like it would be more effective since it uses 2 bars instead of one. What do you guys think. Is it worth it or should i just get a tannabe one.

Who actually sells the DC strut bars??? I think they look the stiffest out of all of the strut bars, but I can't find them online. I would prefer to get one from a YW vendor but I don't think anyone carries them.

You won't get many answers on this one... as many people here will argue that a Front strut bar on a Yaris is a complete waste. A few will say that it provides a little help on very demanding situations (on a track).

I had one on my previous Yaris and don't have any on my new one... I can say it does not make much of a difference.

So if it looks what you are after, the go for the bar you like the most. If you are not that interested in looks... then perhaps you could see into other suspension mods that would give you more improvement for your buck.

either it's bolted to the car securely and reduces lateral compression, or not. The design difference you're concerned with will make negligible difference. So buy the one you like and that fits your budget!

I figured I would get the rear bar first, and if I get the urge to make the front match I'll pick the front bar up ( even though it might not work like the rear)

Exactly, the simple fact that it would help resist movement between the strut mounts would be enough of a benefit for me. It might not exactly help the car HANDLE better, but theoretically it will help STIFFEN the strut mounts ( oh yeah it looks good too

). A front sway bar, from my understanding will promote understeer (which is pretty bad already since we're FWD)
