Hi everyone,

I own a 06 corolla ascent hatchback with stock shocks and 15inch steelies. I feel alot of bodyroll when cornering and wonder if the trd rear sway bar itself will significantly reduce this? I plan to put 17inch alloys later aswell, will that reduce bodyroll aswell?

Thanks in advance

I have installed two rear sways on a different cars, is best bang for buck suspension mod out there.

Wheels wont make any difference to body roll. What you need are stiffer springs to control the roll. Make sure they are lower as with 17's the Corolla will look like a Hi-Lux.
The rear anti roll bar makes a slight difference to body roll and to the handling, but don't be expecting the car to suddenly corner flat.

Thanks guys. I'll get one asap.

When just taking corners at 30kph is pretty bad, hopefully the rear sway will reduce this at that speed?

Unfortunately, I'm not planning to lower my ride because of cost atm, its hard enough to save for wheels with legal tyres at 17inch lol. Might go 16 inch instead... Anyone have pics of zze122 corolla with 16 or 17inch wheels at stock height?
Simo
fully, I need to lower my car, but our drive is more retarded than quinton....

its like stairs, no ****....

You should match the rear sway with a front strut.

A rear sway on it's own seems incomplete as only the rear end of your vehicle feels heavy.

hey mate,

i got a rear trd sway on my stivo and it made it very stiff for me thats just me i loved it but in saying that i also have a front and rear trd strut so yerh maybe all 3 of them would help ya and some coils lol but one at a time ahaha
chicken
cheers. ok i'll get the rear sway first and see how that goes before the front strut.

how much will lowering springs plus labour to fit them cost all up? im in perth btw
