The drop on those MI springs really is just perfect. If I could afford those and a nice rear sway bar I'd be a happy camper.

Yah, as far as what I've been reading, when cornering the load goes to the outside wheel leaving the inside wheel with little grip. The sway bar transfers some of the load back to the inside meaning better grip, meaning faster turning. Others have also said that it improves some of the maladies in the Yaris's driving characteristics at speed such as wandering when driving on the highway and a more "stable" feel when driving.

Everything I've read has been nothing but high praise for getting one and it should have been on there from the factory. It should be the first mod anyone does.
