    Guys - getting ready to put some springs on after work today. They are tanabe springs NF210 and wanted to see what other suspension part is recommended?

    Which one should I get to with the springs?

    A: TRD rear swar bar
    B: Tanabe front sway bar
    C: Strut Tower Brace & Strut Bar ​

    Which ones would you recommend?

    Thanks,
    AMH

    D. All the above and the center frame brace.

    No but seriously the center brace, front strut and rear bar.

    Read up on what each one does, affects, pros cons.

    Good luck

    Chassis braces are the least expensive and easiest to install.

    The Prius chassis is too flexible to the liking of most.

    Toyota improved the Gen III mid-brace in mid-2012. However, it can be improved even further using my "box beam."

    Then. there's the improvement that I made to the Tanabe Tub153F front brace using stronger more break resistant materials. It has closer fitment and less "hangdown" to catch road debris and obstructions.
