Anyone using an aftermarket rear sway bar? I Googled and found people saying the handling improvement is amazing on Gen 4 and under (with rear sway bar added), but haven't seen anyone with a Gen 5 talk about it. One person bought it, but found it (@PhoS) but returned it because it's for the FWD only. Here is a lineup: https://cuscousainc.com/blog/cusco-products-list-for-2023-toyota-5th-gen-prius-mxwh60-updated-in-september-2023
Thanks for sharing, I am interested in getting this for my FWD 24 prime. Question - the images are confusing on Cusco's website. They sell the swaybar which doesn't show that it comes with end links, and they list a separate end link upgrade kit thats more expensive than the swaybar itself. Are we supposed to buy both or does the swaybar bolt on without the optional end links?
I am also interested if anyone has any experience, I plan to add one and possibly some of the underside braces. Here is the rear brace, but they also have a couple other ones that are mid body or towards the front. Tanabe Underbrace Rear for Toyota Prius 2023-2026
Never mind. I thought there was a conflict with a muffler in one picture, but I realized the car in one of the photos had an aftermarket exhaust.
I am traveling and not near my car, otherwise I would put it up on the lift and answer this for myself. Please bear with me. Does a 24 prime have a factory rear swaybar?? If so, does anyone know the diameter? Is the Cusco bar just a beefier bar (25mm I believe)? If the answers above are yes, then that would explain why the cusco bar does not come with end links as we would just reuse the factory end links.
Yes and 20.9mm in diameter. Sarah always does really good inspections of the suspension in her reviews.
You really should only need the end links if you lower the car. Even then the stock are fine unless you are going extremely low.
