    Put one on and you will notice a slight difference in your rear tires being more stable. I don't need one because I have the rear underbody custom spoiler and it is electronically welded to the crossmember.

    i think that little tie bar won't do anything... if it does u probably wont even feel it cuz the lateral arm is mounted pretty close together on the cross member to hav big flex on it..

    Even though the Corolla is a unibody design it still flexes even in under the most extreme flat curvy roads. so in order for you to have a real understanding or at least from my view point is to really test it out and since i do not have upgraded sway bars or urethane bushings I really don't have a use for them right now.The reason being is since my car is so low (even though it doesn't seem that low in the pic) and the rear tires sit inward quite a bit when on launch or turning the car,it just grabs the road very,very good. With no slide even if i try and force it out the car will regain control very quickly which is why it pisses me off sometimes when i try and do some screw up slalom (zigzag) testing.
