I'll pay big bucks for a nice sway bar set, but not for braces- hell, I'll probably make the braces for my Yaris. You can buy the ends and piping from Summit racing for cheap.
from what ive researched (cusco,tanabe,c-one,etc) those bars look like shit. the one looks too small to be any effective and the front one only bolts on in two places compared to other ive seen that uses 4 bolts. i also have used "ebay" bars on my civic hatch and the only reason was they were cheap. i think with my yaris i will not be using "NO NAME " brands as the products look inferior for my tastes....

The bar is probably of fine quality.

Just like with a strut bar, you won't notice any difference. In the front a 4 point brace would probably be more effective. If you get them cheap enough, go for it.


What you will feel a difference from is fender braces. We need some of those.

Well, my $9.99 bid was beat, it is up to $15.50 now. Guess someone thinks this mod is worth the cost. For me, $30 was OK to test with, not $35 or even $40 for the front bar. I think I'll save my $$$ for the braces that have 4 mounting points.

Good idea. Save your cash and get a four point brace
