Came across this: what do you make of it? "The mark "one tuning fork 3" mark performance damper (front)" パフォーマンスダンパー(フロント編) | MASKEDプリウス - 楽天ブログ using Google Translation so bear with me... :
Is that a sub frame frame connector? Went to all that trouble and it appears there isn't even a strut tower brace also though. Hard to imagine how hard you have to roll into a turn to make that worth the trouble and expense before the tiny tires broke loose first. And the post is unreadable. Btw, I see you car is lowered and looks like 50 rated tires. I like your wheels but how hard does your car hit over a pothole?
This performance damper is for those looking for an edge while pushing the car to the limits. Normal daily driving wouldn't see a benefit from this most likely. This is "supposed to replace the need for a strut tower brace" - from what i've read. Thank Google translation from Japanese to English for that... Here is a link to the Wheel/Tire install: Modding My 2008 Touring...."JustDidIt" | Page 10 | PriusChat - the 35 profile tires are rubber bands for sure. But with the extra traction from the tread width and less sway from the shorter side wall, I don't have any issues dodging the potholes.
