TANABE SUSTEC Strut Tower Bar & Under Brace DIY Installation PIX !!!

Of course it's a Cusco site.
This is what I referenced before: "6mm more strut piston travel - 4 mm of twist at the brace"
Come on... They have to justify their existence.

Anybody can jerk on the wheel when not needed and make strut the compress more.
But if Masami can "Feel it", bless her little heart, who am I to question this Business?

 

Bill,

Try to find someone local to you with chassis bracing and then try yours, you WILL notice a difference also the car creaks a lot less!

As my wife drives our Prius most of the time when I put the cusco brace on a few weeks ago she came in after a badger ran out in the road and she swirved and actually said what have you done to the car as it gripped the road and didn't lean as much as it used too! I was rather impressed she even noticed!

All I can say is ever chassis upgrade I have done I have tested the car on a roundabout near me. Something you guy in USA are not used too. Well with every upgrade I try going faster and faster around it and ever upgrade has allowed that and it feels safer!

 

Hey BPete, believe it or not, roundabouts are here! And there are more all the time. I just went through an Interstate exit ramp that had one on both sides of the highway !!

But, there is testing and then there are feelings.
I'm sure you can measure Sway bars, springs, etc. Is this what your wife felt? Less lean? Stiffeners don't do that.

And, "every chassis upgrade,,, tested", how so? Like if you installed that silly brace that mounts at the far aft end of the car (where the trailer hitch picks up holes),, you tested that and it made your car faster?

Only identical cars with and without , in a Blind Test can/might demonstrate "The Feelings" that people claim about this stuff.

Think Myth Busters. Do you get that over there?

 

Just installed mine with megan racing coilover and rear TRD sway bar. Love the ride and feel.

(hint to install) DO NOT CUT CORNERS!! Follow the instructions for removing the wiper motor. OR you will end up like me and have a cracked windsheild. lol Kinda sucks but thats what I get for rushing and trying to cut corners. Total install with everthing was a little over 3 hrs.

Feel free to ask questions about anything.
(yes I know i'm an idiot for cuting corners)
