Sway Bar! - Toyota Yaris Forums

keesue · 11-30-2006, 10:50 PM

Upgraded sway bars (in this case thicker in the front and added in the back) will stabilize the car in hard cornering by counteracting lean induced by gravity. I will say that the stock set up on the Yaris is great; however, if you really want to extract the most from the car, thicker/stronger bars will help. It should be noted that its best to lower the center of gravity before tightening the car with sway bars to keep the handling more predictable. A high center of gravity with thick sway bars make the car a bit unstable in hard turns. This is one of the reasons why there is no sway bar on the car.

Correction: No rear sway bar in the car. The front is there but thin due to ride height and lack of a bar in the back...sorry, long day...heh.
