Friends: 9 | Re: Tightening up my chasis It shows they make it for the 05-09 Prius, maybe I did not see where it said they have it for the 2010. That pic is a GII, not a GenIII... |

Friends: 0 | Re: Tightening up my chasis IMO a waste of money for a Prius, even a V. Are you planning to run slalom courses or weave back<>forth on the freeway?  |

Yes, the 09 is the last year of the 2nd Generation. The 2010 is the first year of the 3rd Generation. Complete redesign... Check out the wikipedia page for differences from each generation. | |

Friends: 22 | Re: Tightening up my chasis Tanabe makes a strut tower brace for the 2010, and so does CUSCO. Sigma Automotive sells the Tanabe STB for $189 and the CUSCO STB for $235: Toyota Prius 2010 ZVW30 Performance, Handling & Electronic Accessories :: Sigma Automotive |

Friends: 63 | Yeah, I was going to say something like that.  And something along the lines of "What's wrong with better handling?", which can now have two meanings.  |

Friends: 0 | Re: Tightening up my chasis I think this and the under bracing would eliminate a lot of body roll. I am sure a set of Eibachs would definitely help out to. |
