I've gone back and forth on this mod. Those that put their Yaris' to the test in real deal race environments claim that a good set of coilovers is all you need with this car. Those that drive on the street say it makes a yuge improvement. I tend to lean towards the guys who are beating these cars up on the track but I recognize that they're two different environments, so results may vary.

Don't get me wrong, coilovers are on my list, but that's a good long ways away. For now, the sway bar is a great addition to my daily on the street. I'm right there with you though for sure.

I'll be posting my review about this once I drive around a bit on my coil overs (currently being made). I'd personally rather run no sway bar and proper suspension rates as the rear h beam is technically meant to be a semi independent system. The sway bar reduces this.

In a dd'r situation on stock or softer lowering springs this really is only a bonus to control the wander. However, on a track and higher spring rates it likely becomes a moot piece of metal.

I'll try and be as objective as possible when I compare both set ups to give some of you guys an idea of how the handling differs
