Hey all ,
Picked these up from Garm this weekend . I'm very surprised at the fitment and the powder coating on these pieces looks amazing ! I haven't hit up any good twistes yet , so I'll have a review on the performance later . I also got the rear sway link brace too that I need to install.
Enjoy

That looks tight! Does the drive feel any different from before? How much did it cost?

Thanks everyone ! I haven't been able to do a "spirited" cayon/mountain run yet , but just driving around town the car feels a lot more "solid". I also feel the road a lot more(added a lot of stiffness) . I took a couple 360 freeway on-ramps today and I noticed about 10mph faster than I usually take the ramps at and the car seemed like it was doing so with ease . I really think the butter in the gt spec line up is the rear sway brace , I'm just wating for the harware to install mine .(Garm forgot the harware , but its all good

) I cant tell you what I paid but I can say that i'm now sponsored by Microimageonline.com and I pretty much stole these from Garm

Hey all ,
I just installed the rear sway brace and to sum it up OMFG !!! I've never owned a car that handles as good a my yaris does right now . Its so smooth on entry speed and it just feels more stable the faster you push it through the apex . If the car handles this good as-is, I can't even imagine it with coilovers / front ustb, fender braces , rear sway bar , smaller light weight rims and brake upgrade . Pics tommorow

Waiting for pics! Can you PM me the price of all of that? I drive my Yaris 180+ miles per day and go through some twisty roads. I would love to have it hands better...

ChinoCharles · 02-06-2009, 03:18 PM

Its like a grinding plate. You should take it to a skate park.

supmet · 02-06-2009, 03:35 PM

hells yea. i keeps it fresh like that.

i've never scraped except for that curb i climbed that scraped them up a little bit, and the deer i hit last june dented the front 4 point brace. will that hinder the strength of the bar?

Picture of the rear sway brace installed

BLAZINBLUEVITZ · 03-02-2009, 09:36 AM

bolts starting to rust already?

hatchbackkid82 · 03-02-2009, 10:21 AM

man i thought that sway bar would sit higher up in the car, seems like it sits low. looks good though
