1. Does it make a huge difference in cornering with the bigger rear sway bar? ...or just a little better?
2. Did it make the ride quality a tad more harsh or stiffer in everyday driving?
3. Where to purchase any brand rear sway bar at the best price?
Thanks
I'm going to bump this up because you never got an answer. I cannot say for just the rear bar. I installed the TRD kit for the '03-'08 Matrix/Corolla and this was both the front and rear bars. Supposedly made by Hotchkiss but not available thru them any longer. The car stays glued to the road, it will take corners way faster than I care to try.
It was a noticeable difference with both bars replaced. Ride quality is not affected by sway bars in any car. Be prepared to spend big bucks for the TRD bars and lots of work to replace the front. I did a thread on the whole thing.

Never had the rear bar come loose, used blue locktite (the new gel type) and torqued to 150 lb/ft. about 15K miles now and it is still tight, I check it every oil change since first reading this thread.
