if you don't legitimately race the car i don't see the point of installing braces personally.... unless it wins you points at car shows ;)

So in your opinion i'd be better off spending that money on springs instead? I'm never going to race my Yaris. I think stock springs are too soft.

yes, absolutely

get the car lower first.. swaybar is a must.. skip the braces unless you have extra money to throw away

then again i'm in "saving" mode right now so i see almost ALL mods as useless.. .

Yes, springs are always first when modifying suspension.

Get a quick-release tab for your car, and you can remove the rear STB whenever easily!
