    Today i installed the BT stiffening plate. It's amazing. I'm wondering if anyone has tried any other performance mods. I know that sigma makes tower braces and other products for the prius. Has anyone given these a try? btw. there is a spot for the brace underthe hook. I know it looks like there's not room behind the engine. If you feel back there, there is a long knotch just for a brace. Interesting huh?

    All in all, i want to get other products to make the prius stiffer. no, i don't want to lower it.

    Does it help with the buffeting on the highway? or just the bodyroll, good grief this car does roll.

    My link is in my signature.

    I also plan on doing all the chassis stiffening mods, as well as the Sportivo suspension.

    So far I have installed my lower suspension brace only. I have the strut tower bar, but it's pretty involved to install, so I haven't gotten around to it yet.

    Maybe I'll do that tomorrow...
