Well, I ordered a rear sway bar from Micro Image for him. His birthday is in a couple weeks so I'm going to install it for him. We'll see how it works.

I'm going to have to take the car out and trash it a bit to get a baseline before the swap. I've only driven it once and that was around my house in the dirt (I have an acre) and then down the dirt road we live on. It was basically to show him how to do e-brake turns and pitch the car sideways.

In addition to my hot rods, I'm a Corvette guy so I'm used to "throttle induced oversteer". That is not a concept that the Yaris (nor my step son) is familiar with!

Thanks for all the help. I'll update after the install.
