Anyone know anything about the new brace offered at Sigma Automotive? It's listed as "Tom's Lower Body Strengthening Brace (Rear)." It's a new 2006 part.
Only what's on Sigma's page here (scroll to near bottom): http://www.sigmaauto.com/jdm/prius/prius0405.php There is also Tom's Racing page, but it was in Engrish and was only minimal text. I'll get the link later.
I've been eyeing that piece for a little while now. It looks like it combines a couple elements usually seperate on other Toyotas both being termed "rear member brace". Maybe it is because of the beam axle on the back it can be combined into one. I will be getting it after the front strut tower bar and the front member brace (whatever it is called) and before the TRD suspension. If anyone else orders it first, I would like to hear/read what they have to say. I'm sure it makes a difference, after pulling off my floor stiffening brace I am noticing some body twist in the car and I am sure this piece would help.
