Good question.

I commute with my Yaris on a interstate type highway.
With the 23mm sway bar, the car is more stable at highway speeds, quick lane changes are much more secure and safer. Wander is eliminated for the most part except in very strong cross winds but, I have a HB and I assume it is more prone to wander in strong winds due to its shape. Also, I have the crap OEM Goodyear tires for now.

I feel much more secure at highway speed with the sway bar.

alright thanks. im running on 16"s with nitto neogens 205/45/16s everything else stock... the 23mm is very tempting, but if i can get a 19mm bar and save some $$$ while still having the same stability on the highway then all the better

I bought the red TRD bar, anybody know what the thickness is on those?

PS; get a sway bar if you don't already have one. Mine's the only suspension mod I have and it's NOT a waste of $!
