So, who's going to be guinea pig?
Caution to those of us who are in the snow belt, too much swaybar in the back is a recipe for disaster. |

There seems to be some mixed angst over this rear sway bar thing. I had a Progress on my xB and it was perfect! It kept the tail from wagging and gave it a more neutral steering effect. Lift off the throttle and the tail would rotate out in a CONTROLLED fashion.
If you increase the front along with the rear you have essentially done nothing but reduce body lean and kept understeer the same. |

Russ, if that were true these companies wouldn't be selling a singular rear sway they would only sell matched sets. The rear-only bar helps the car drive and handle more like a rear drive car.

if a company did only sell "sets" they'd be limiting their customer base significantly as people are cheap and like to do things in stages or to their preference even if it is negatively affecting overall performance. my statements come from class winning autoxers and track drivers not from what companies do or do not decide to push in their marketing campaigns. most people havn't driven a rear drive car that "feels" like a rear drive car. most rear drive cars drive like a fwd car except when you stand on the gas with the wheel turned the rear wheels spin instead of the fronts. i'd much rather have my car GRIP like a mofo then dorifto like NOB. |

companies like Hotchkis who DO sell sets, IE the scion xA/B have severely undersized the rear bar.. no one wants to have people look down on their company for making spin happy econoboxes.

anyone ever seen the hardcore rear suspensions on modern touring cars? some of them use beams, i remember an article in a race engineering mag. pretty cool stuff, very fascinating.

Who said Yaris was slow?
|
Will this sway bar fit the sedan or is it only for the LB?
