24mm FRONT swaybars in stock - Toyota Yaris Forums

cali yaris · 04-23-2009, 02:08 AM

I have no idea what the stock front sway bar size is, but I can measure it tomorrow.

The only negative is that by increasing front stiffness, you increase the chance of understeer.

My car actually has some oversteer with my set up at this point (coilovers + thick rear torsion/sway bar + lighter weight in the rear), so using this front sway bar should head me back towards neutral steering, while decreasing roll at the same time. That will be an improvement.

Lots of factors play into tuning a suspension, including simple stuff like tire pressure.

Sounds good. For those that like a bit of oversteer, I guess we could just make the rear bar even thicker - How about 26-28mm????? Even less body roll.

I wonder if there is a easy way of modifying the TRD sway bar to be even stiffer than it is now.
