If you can change a tire you can install this. OR you must have a friend that can help (two people makes it so much more fun).
If you want to call me on the phone, I will coach you, in person, through the whole thing.

Everybody starts somewhere and this is a good place to start. It *really* is as easy as everyone says it is. Four bolts and you're done.

Garm really will help you through it over the phone. I know firsthand because he helped me get the 23mm UR bar on when I thought there is no way it would fit. Thanks again for that help!

I've never changed a tire before, but if you can coach me over the phone that might work.

I don't have any tools or gear to raise the car and someone said it would be dangerous and difficult to do w/o raising the car.

you will have to remove the nuts that hold the shocks on both sides... one side you can just slip on over the bolt... the other side you have to pull the bolt out in order to get that side into position, personally I'd be afraid to move the bolt out of the shock with the weight of the car pressing on it. Not to mention how hard it would be to move the bolt... I put my car on jack stands then jacked up the crossbar a tiny bit to loosen the pressure on that bolt, but beyond that, it's 4 bolts you have to deal with...

I was following just fine until you got to the words jack stand. Is that the thing under the driver seat? Won't "jacking" up the car on one small point like that put too much pressure and then warp that small point you jack the car up on?

If the car is a daily driver, I'd worry more about the suspension setup of a 23mm than I would the price. Assuming the material is similar and that both bars are solid there's a much better chance of inducing snap oversteer withn the stiffer rear bar.

I recommend knowing what problem you're trying to fix and what side effects it has before starting to throw parts on your car. That's it.

I got Garm's 23mm bar and I have absolulty no regrets.
My Yaris is a DD used in comunting to work in all kinds of weather and there is no downside to the 23mm. |

http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14084 It might help you answer the 19" v. 23" question. If you don't have any tools, maybe you could go to a meet and see if some of the members are willing to help you out? |

Installing my 19 mm Ultra Racing sway bar was really easy. I didn't even try to jack up the car from under the shocks; you don't need to. Keep it simple. You only need to remove the nuts from the bolts in order to install the sway bar, so pressure on the bolt from the shock is no issue here...
