  1. Thanks for the suggestion. Well there is a "BT Tech" unit offered in US Prius chat sites. However, upon my enquiry they declined to deliver outside the US. Whether you would consider it a performance part depends how much you like scuttle shake. I personally have never experienced it in a sedan car before, only in convertibles. I actually dislike convertibles because of their obvious lack of rigidity. Many manufacturers that offer convertible versions of sedans or coupés put softer springs in the convertible versions for precisely this reason. The Prius does not have particularly firm spring rates, so I'd reckon the shake is an unfortunate characteristic of the design. Mind you, I cannot be sure that a brace would mitigate the shake, but I'd reckon it would be worth a try. If anybody has a better idea I would be delighted to hear about it. There would be another solution, and that would be to make Sydney roads smoother with fewer potholes! But I'd think I'd be holding my breath for a long time.....
  2. Nah that's not the way it works..the less rigid the body the more it shakes over bumps. Just try any convertible car.

  4. Hi members...! Has anybody noticed that Priuses (or is that Priii??) suffer from scuttle shake over bumps? More to the point, has anybody tried a strut brace? Whereabouts might one source such a thing for a Prius?
