Late to the party, springs/shocks feedback? 09 sedan

[Compeer]

I made my own rear lower brace and also recently put on that cheap chinese front strut, cars way nicer in corners and I dont feel like im being thrown out of my seat anymore even on stupid tight cornering. When I had the tien flexz that was really nice too, Kind of soft with lots of grip, the bad sway in the rear was gone and that was running tein flex z and no sway bars. I suspect when i reinstall the tien suspension again soon that the cars handling will be extremelly nice compared to before.

I have trd sportivo springs and the blue shorter trd sportivo shocks and the car was still a whale in the wind, feels better all around now with the sway bars. rides nice really happy with it, honesty, if you have the money this set up is really nice.

So would recomend getting the front sway bar as well and seeing how you like that first, its your cheapest option and with or with out the other upgrades it will make the car feel nicer.

sweet setup!! ya i saw the front strut bar install from the arvin yaris youtuber guy. was it the tanabe sustec? all the parts are tough to get and pretty pricey now anyway since they're so out of production date.

I dont hear any obvious noises so theyre probably not totally shot yet but will inspect to see if getting new tie rods/ball joints/stabilizer links may help as well? Not too sure how those parts rank interms of affecting straight line ride stability that im looking for. Im not a car mechanic but in a similiar trades industry so I have all the tools and buddies to keep install costs at a minumum.
