Considering rear swaybar-am I thinking correctly?

Klink10,

Thanks for the response.
I will definitely be doing the install myself either way, I was just wondering about the swaybar affecting any future suspension claims under the warranty I already have.


YellowJolt,

Thanks for the feedback-glad your happy with your purchase.

I increased my tire pressure gradually up to 44 psi for fuel economy reasons and must say the handling is improved. The ride is obviously stiffer, but not unpleasantly so. Increased tire noise is the other immediate side effect, but it's not bad either. The OEM tires are not well liked here, but so far are meeting my needs at this pressure. I won't be exceeding the max sidewall pressure though.

You might want to pair the sway bar with a set of rear 13mm hub spacers from peguin garage.

Those will add over an inch of track to your car. Along with the rear sway bar should help making the car more stable at highway speeds...

Agreed. I have both the TRD sway and the 10mm Penguin spacers running 205's. Took a trip cross country on I70 and the wind/stability of the car was not an issue at all. None of that squirrely-ness others talk about at hghway speeds.

Well, you are definitely safe with the TRD bar. From what I understand, TRD parts allow you to retain your factory warranty. But there isn't really any actual "harm" an aftermarket bar will do to your car's suspension. It isn't like you are drifting or autocrossing with your Yaris, right?

Have you had any issues with your TPM sensors with the increased pressure (44psi)? I inflated the tires on my Taco X-Runner equally to 40psi and never got a light. I believe the recommended pressure was 35psi. In any event, I actually would prefer a bit stiffer ride, anyway, so I may also do the 44psi thing.
