TRD For The Win ! - Toyota Yaris Forums

Tedtalker · 08-10-2013, 03:55 PM

I want to thank all of you for the great info you guys post on YarisWorld.
Just installed the TRD swaybar and I am now a believer! The best $153.00 I ever spent on a car end of story. She handles so good now it's amazing. I can feel the car solidly planted on the road and corners aren't scary anymore.

The only reason I can think of as to why these didn't come on the base sedan
is that Toyota didn't want to take away sales from their higher end cars or they wanted to sell the sports model for more $$$. Did a rear swaybar even come on the S model? Install was easy. I wish I had done this years ago.

Here's a couple of pics.

Congrats man! I want this trd rear sway bar and dc sports headers and I will be done modding this car. I hope I'm just as excited as you are with this upgrade!

Enjoy!
And no, the bar is not part of any factory packages. But should be stock on all, for sure.

You will be for sure, I promise. It made such a difference I've decided to get some Eibach Pro-Kit springs to get even closer to go-cart handling.

Yes, it's a different ride altogether.

Too bad that in Canada where I live ... the TRD sway bar is not available. I have heard so much about it and would be willing to try it. *sigh*

Betrivent · 08-14-2013, 10:46 PM

^ It's well worth it. Or even get an Ultra racing one. ANY swaybar is a drastic change.

Also for anybody wondering why the Swaybar doesn't come stock, it's because the manufacturer would rather the car understeer than oversteer, as most drivers can better cope with the former.

+1 for the TRD sway bar :) They're definitely awesome! Congrats on a good purchase.

...and to keep the cost at a certain price point.

The whole TRD setup would be Springs and Struts/Shocks correct? I'm definitely getting springs 1st. looking at Eibach Pro-Kit who I understand makes the TRD springs as well ?

If my budget allows, I will do shocks and springs at the same time.

D&D · 08-20-2013, 01:13 PM

Ahhhh, I want one too! $153 is a great price, was that including shipping?

Can't get it on eBay?

It'd probably be cheaper than the dealer anyways.

Shipping to my location in Memphis, TN was $13.17 so final price was $166.17
