    Hi everyone, I have a 2016 Prius V. I am wondering if it's worth it to upgrade stuff like shocks, springs, and sway bars to help with body roll and handling. I am basically looking to rice my car, but not sure if I should just get lowering springs and call it done, or if I should go all in on new suspension to try and reduce body roll, since I drive the thing like a hot hatch. Thanks for any info.

    You've got no power to really suspend? Body roll is the only thing fun about the car dang . 120hp give or take and 4K pounds .
