Has anyone put a rear antiswaybar on a 2012 Yaris?
Has anyone installed a rear antisway bar on a 2012 Yaris? I had one on my 2007 yaris and really liked it. The holes appear to be the same, but before I order one I thought I'd ask.

My guess is probably not. TRDSparks shows the swaybar for up to and including 2011, but not 2012. Then again, they show nothing for the 2012 so...

i don't see a need for a rear sway bar in the 12's. i feel my SE actually over-steers. if anything id add a stiffer one in the front and see if it handles more neutral.

how thick is the stock front one? It can help, but if you get too thick and don't add a lsd it can cause wheel spin.

I ordered my antisway bar today from Conecelli Toyota (trademotion.com) today. The parts are seriously discounted (a $189 part for$149) and if you use the shipping drop down menu you can get free shipping on any thing over $100. From my experience with my 2007 Yaris it is the best handling improvement for the $149 that you can buy. I expect it will do the same job of flattening out corners on my 2012 Yaris.

My TRD rear antisway bar is installed, it fits perfectly on my 2012 Yaris and has the desired results. If you do not have one and you want to greatly improve your vehicles cornering ability for a modest amount of money, do not wait, get one now. It does not negatively affect the quality of the ride, or make the steering hyperresponsive as a dropped suspension can. It simply flattens the car in curves, both tight and wide ones, especially when taking a curve quickly.

I don't know because I'm just a newbie. Here's a pic of a TRD...
Take a look under yours and see if there is anything there like this. |

Our 2012 has a 24mm front, just like most of the previous gen cars.
