Whether it&#8217;s a second car to daily drive in or if it&#8217;s the primary car that will be modded, who among us can really ever leave anything stock? While power mods are slim pickins&#8217; for this platform, suspension and chassis parts are very popular for Prius owners. Two of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tanabe-usa.com\/index.asp\">Tanabe&#8217;s<\/a>\u00a0most popular parts are the Tower Bar and Front Underbrace for these cars. The chassis itself is known to be &#8220;unstable at highway speeds and these parts really give the car more stability.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;\">Now Tanabe will be offering a Lower Center Brace to go with these parts! This part can be used with or without the OEM brace that is made of a heavier cast material. Another plus is that this part will also work on the Prius V as well. Sorry Prius C guys, this will not work on that platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/2013\/10\/11\/3rd-gen-prius-and-prius-v-lower-center-brace\/tub153c\/\"
