You know, I can't really see clearly (from the photo), but if you've got a rear swaybar on your rally Echo and you also have rubbish tires on it, it wouldn't come as *any* surprise that you felt that the swaybar was useless.

The tire would let go before the car builds any sort of useful side Gs that bring the suspension (and the rollbar) into play.

Of course, I could be wrong, as I often am, you might really have some decent tires on that rally Echo, and your rear swaybar might really not work.

If swaybars don't work, no one would use it on any car at all. Your opinion that it didn't work on the Echo holds no water, because we're using it on a Yaris.

Let the guy who's installed it tell us if it works.

P.S: For a guy whose rattle-can-sprayed his steelies white and his spoiler red, $150 *is* a lot of money to be throwing away. :P

No, I'm not attacking you for that. You have every right and reason to do whatever you see fit to your car. I am putting into context for the others who do not see it why you might actually regard a $152 sway bar a large sum of money that should not be wasted.

Amen and well said Chris

We should really focus on the topic thread and not take it into a celebrity death match sort of speak .

i like your wheels.. the 1st time i saw it i thought that was great.. you have to appreciate other people's ideas sometime or another.. after all thats why 1/2 of us do the same thing. either you like it or dont. dont mean you have to do it. just appreciate what other people have done.. its their taste. but i do think that was a cool looking idea..
