Cusco Center Power Brace fits Gen III (10, 11, and 12's) Prius: $175 plus shipping. This is just like brand new - was installed less than a week on my wife's Prius and she felt it made the car too sporty for her. I liked it though! It pulls the car together and makes it feel much more solid. In my opinion makes the car drive and feel more like the CT. PM me if you would like it. I'm in Huntington Beach for anyone local in the OC who would like to come by and pick it up. Or feel free to give me a call at (714) 374-9932 as I'm around this weekend. Scott
Good price for it, too bad I already have one installed. I believe this also fits the Prius v (wagon). GLWS
Hey Mike, These are made of aluminum. As for weight it's pretty minimal - I don't have a number for you but being aluminum they are pretty light. Here's a couple pics of it on a Prius. I'll try and take a couple pics of mine later today and post up. I've gotten a couple requests for them. Other folks with this brace have commented on how it: "ties the chassis together and definitely provides the Prius with that "fun factor." The Prius zips around corners now and feels securely planted." I would agree with their opinion and relate it to how much more planted the CT drives vs the Prius. And that's one reason we ended up buying the Prius 'cause my wife liked how it drove better. Shes's just not a fan of sports cars like me. I would have bought the CT in a flash over the Prius. But then again I have an MR2 Turbo. I believe it adds much more to the sporty performance of the car than the Tanabe Strut Tower Brace that we still have on the car does. It just holds and pulls the car together. Problem is my wife doesn't like that sporty feeling, she likes the more laid back nature of the car without the brace. It's her car so that's why it's on the chopping block. If it was my car you couldn't pry if from my cold dead hands! It is still available.
Here's some pics of the brace I have for sale. Like new with not even a scratch on it. I had to special order this from Japan and took about 3 weeks to get. I'm not sure if any shops have this in stock currently, so if you would like this brace now's the time to get it without having to wait for one. You can reach me by PM or call me at 714-374-9932. Local buyers are preferred so I don't have to ship, but I would be willing to ship. Scott
