Which rear sway bar? - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

RedRide · 11-01-2009, 05:43 PM

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.

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...

I thinkt he 19 mm bar makes sense for you. I run a TRD, which is essentially the same as the 19 UR bar,a nd I like the balance. I feel like the 23mm bar would cause too much rotation for me, with my autocross setup, but everyone is different on that. If its just a street-driven DD, don't think you'll see any advantage in the 23mm.

unless you live in a place where the roads are full of twists and turns, like me. Even then I think you'd have to do 3x the speed limit for it to really help... so you are definitely better off with a 19mm if price is a concern.

I've come to the same conclusion. The 19mm bar is just right for my needs. Just waiting for more cash to come in now and looking for a place that can install it at a reasonable price and that can torque the bolts properly.

Any private mechanic shop should do it for very little, but you'd be even better-off going onto scionlife.com or a honda forum and finsing someone who'll throw it on for $20. It really is that easy, and fast. Took me 20 minutes, and that's with a smoke break. :)

I'd do it for free, just for the fun of it

I'm trying to get a friend from work to buy some upgrades, so I can install them for him.

Agreed!

i don't know, snap oversteer sounds like fun. I think I'd for for the 23mm just because of that comment. Nothing like the rear end sliding out on a fwd. Pretty cool thing in my book.
