The ground kit made a big difference in the stereo system. It has no hums or buzzes at all. As for the performance, I've never had any problems with sputters. My plugs fire smooth all the time, even in the morning when it's cold. Don't know if it's related to the ground kit.... By the way, your avatar is looks like a heartbreaker !!

Race/rally cars drive in tougher terrain and higher speeds than road cars, with upgraded suspension bushings, harder and/or longer travel suspension with grippy soft-compound tires that impose more stress on the chassis.
You don't need it for the local grocery shop special stage.

So the tower bar is a good addition to the chassis of the Yaris, not all of the above but also for the "sporty driver". |

Who said Yaris was slow?

Is not that the front strut bars don't do nothing... they just don't do nothing on a Yaris...
This is due to the chasis configuration of the Yaris. Even if you are driving at the track... You will have to install a full racing suspension in order to receive any benefit from a this bar on the Yaris. There are a lot of other car that can use the benefit of a front strut bar even for street use. The Yaris is not one of those. On the other side the rear sway bar does alot for the car. I have not use the other under bracing available for the car... so I can not talk about those. |

Would the yaris benefit from a 3-point front strut bar?
If so, why has one not been developed yet? |

I noticed a difference with mine. Especially on hard turns or really quick lane changes. Also was able to install mine without lifting car up but was really cramped fitting hand up there.

tanabe strut tower bar installed pics
Just finished installing mine. Nice product with nice fittings and hardware. Simple install. Felt a difference in steering input and it seems as if it let's you enter harder into corners and allows some room for mistakes. Not a huge difference though. Probably would have passed on it and put the money towards getting Garms intake manifold. Definitely looks good though.
