this is hows it looks like now. my initial paint job budget went to replace the suspension system.
paint job can wait.

looking into strut bar and rear subrame.
not sure if the rear subframe a gimmick but the Anti roll bar is hella expensive.

get the antirollbar FIRST!

strut bar and subframe bracing doesnt do much if to be honest....

ARB is more expensive due to its function

Agreed on this.

Got extra budget get front upper strut bars. Vios are well known for its numb drive feeling. Having a more solid front end will transfer more feel to the steering.

Look at the design, which one is more solid for its purpose?
its the ARB right.

Just imagine the right hand suspension is compressed, the ARB design is more efficient in doing the job. The subframe wont do much...like having a solid axle.

THOSE SUBFRAME IS PIECE OF SHIT very useless thing that only makes your car scrapping everything on the road...not even functional as anything... seriously...


its actually they mimicking proper antirollbar of UR instead...not other way around...

ARB is connected to the absorbers or wheel control arm usually right? The name itself "Anti roll bar" says a lot already.

That other thing is more of a torsion beam strengthener which is really no point.
