    There's always a difference after a suspension upgrade.

    Take turns with confidence without worrying about the car tipping over.

    Parts are straight bolt on and yes the rear floor bar attaches to the seatbelt bolt. It does not require cutting the carpet.

    However for the trunk brace, you will have to modify the shock/strut covers. Other than that it's also straight bolt on part.

    Enjoy

    Ride is so sweet I need a shot of insulin !!, Your car is why others who don't own a Prius are jealous. Your car (and others like it here in Priuschat) is the new age of what motoring is to be!! Looking at your car makes me want to drive it!! Not as fast as a Suburu, but looks better in my humble opinion!

    I just got my ultra racing rear strut bar today. Did you place it on top of the top shock washer and then but another washer to go over the strut bar before putting the nut on?

    I'm not sure what your second picture is but all I did was remove the shock nut, installed the ultra racing rear strut bar, and then reinstalled the nut.

    My mechanic recommended that a washer be installed on top of the Ultra racing rear strut bar before reinstalling the nut for added security.

    Perfect thanks. I picked up a washer for each side and some blue locktite to put on the threads as it looks like there was some on there from the factory. It looks a bit tricky to cut out a hole for the bar in the plastic cover. Any suggestions on making it look as nice as yours came out?

    @Dealeo, a friend from the forum had a used template that he was nice enough to hand over to me once he was done with it. I basically traced it over my covers and cut it to shape.

    The plastic is hard so it's not simple. Best thing to do is create a cover template off
    of cardboard and then trace the opening you need to clear the bar before making your final cut out of the actual covers.

    Good luck.

    Awesome...you are local in SF Bay Area? I'm in Gilroy. I am slowly going to add stuff to mine... Going to start with Plus rear sway, then some braces.

    @Burna J , you can see the rear sagging butt syndrome on my last picture.

    Hopefully, once your customize brackets arrive, we can get rid of that sickness.:D

    Haven't visited my thread for awhile. Not much going on here but maintaining the Prii in its present condition.

    The mod bug is hitting and the Prii is in need of something soon :sneaky:

    Stay tuned;)
