    Not from the bars & springs, the only thing that affects the ride harshness is the tire pressure. ;)

    I am interested in making my ride feel nicer and more controlled/responsive. I do not drive the Prius like I drove my MGB growing up, but would like to have more feel in turns and not so much the rolling effect.

    I am not much of a handy man, but it seems the rear strut bar and the lower chassis brace is pretty close to "plug n play". If I added only these two would it be enough?

    Rear anti sway bar & strut tower bar would be a better starter combo.

    It would be easy to start with the RSB & FSB. If after that you wanted a mild drop without hurting the ride the Eibach springs are a good choice IMO. :)

    Can someone please tell me what bar is in the yellow circle or the part number? My wife bent that bar when she back into a tree stump causing her Prius to make a rattling noise.

    Thanks,
