Looks good when you lower it. Since you lower it the installed the rear sway bar...might as well go for more handling upgrade. UR strut bar, UR front lower 4 point bar, UR rear strut bar, rear lower bar. I didn't even lower my car but it handles tight.

no offence at all but i want to point 1 thing.

i recently found out that on our cars, front strut tower bars (the one that goes in the engine bay) is completely for cosmetic purpose only.

Yaris has only 1 bolt sticking out from the front strut hat. Normally, other cars will have 2~3 bolts sticking out towards engine bay from the front suspension assembly. If the strut bar is bolted directly onto these bolts that originated from the suspension assembly, it will stablize and minimize the play between two front strut assemblies.

however, the yaris strut bar is not bolted onto the strut itself. it is simply bolted into holes around the top hat, and there is nothing beneath those holes.

in short, if you are solely making purchases for performance, you can skip the front strut tower bars.
