BT Tech stiffening plate question

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Presto @ Nov 5 2006, 07:58 PM) [snapback]344293[/snapback]</div>

ha!... I could see that.... maybe thats why my front tires are worn on the edges even though I have 44 psi in them!!! :lol:

 

wow this is amazing. there is currently several threads going on the same subject. wow, if this isnt free advertising, i dont know what is.

whether you like the plate, hate the plate, or havent a clue as to what the fuss is about, you will definitely KNOW about the plate.

my SO rarely drives my Prius and does not know about the plate that i am getting. (she did know that i had it on my old Prius and that i dont have it on the new one) and i was kicking around the idea of having drive the car and see if she mentions anything about it. problem is, she is very nervous about driving the car because its so new and its not hers. (she has a old beater corolla she just turned 200,000 miles on that she is comfortable with) so it would be hard to get her to drive it before and after the install. but i will try it.

With your installed Sportivo kit.

Were you also cornering harder before pre-Sportivo post-Plate?

Yep.. I was ripping up corners harder as soon as I got the plate. It was the most obvious way to see some instant results. It was a good amount of time before I finally got the Sportivo. In the meanwhile, the tires were getting worn, big time. All the wear was on the edge of the tire.

Probably a point to negatively? camber the tires to even out the wear then...

 

The wear is pretty even now. Since bracing up the chassis, and getting diff tires, there hasn't been any uneven wear issues.
