    I can offer a negative endorsement. In the 2 months before I owned Ebay's G7 Stiff Plate I would occasionally find odd cross winds that scared me, in the 12 months since I have owned it, no such crosswind has scared me.

    I can not state with any authority that I would have been scared without it, but I feel it was worthwhile personally.

    Doesn't look to my like Tanabe offers a 4 point for the Prius, all I see on the Tanabe site are 2 point braces for $98.

    I've got the chassis stiffening plate and the solid 24mm rear sway bar and I'm very impressed with the handling improvements and recommend both.
