Is not that the front strut bars don't do nothing... they just don't do nothing on a Yaris...

This is due to the chasis configuration of the Yaris.

Even if you are driving at the track...

You will have to install a full racing suspension in order to receive any benefit from a this bar on the Yaris.

There are a lot of other car that can use the benefit of a front strut bar even for street use. The Yaris is not one of those.

On the other side the rear sway bar does alot for the car.

I have not use the other under bracing available for the car... so I can not talk about those.

To prove that you woulld have to put a strain guage on the brace to see what loading it is getting under side load - also you can statically load the lower wheel (with hydraulic/ratchet puller and come-a-long and see what moves. we'd do this for race setup - on the street just buy the part and feel the diff, if any. The car still def needs firmer bushings - the front wallows terribly on tight radius.

Does TRD springs and KYB shocks count as full racing suspension?? If not, just say that the STRUT BAR makes a lot of difference in the handling so I can sleep at night PLEASE
