Review on Ultra Racing Mid Bar

I been looking at various ways to improve the handling of my beloved Orange Prius C, no doubt the handling for such a small car is good , however I don't feel confident going in to corners without slowing down or pressing the brakes. Then i saw this ultra Racing group buy on Prius C Club Facebook, and read a few comments to try the Mid Bar for Prius C that supposedly improve cornering ability. I been using number of UR bars for my Cars both Front and ARB which improves a lot of the car handling by reducing body roll and flex

After installation below are the review after using it for about 2 weeks now ..

Straight Line
No noticeable improvement in Handling in straight line as the Mid Bar is meant for reducing body roll.

Changing Lanes
I felt that changing lane the car is a lot more composed and didn't felt any body roll or swaying.

Corners
I can corner the car more confidently , less body roll especially on corners heading in to the highway (e.g LDP to KESAS , MEX highway towards KL) previously has to brake a bit while going down those ramps and corners. However the effect is not as good as installing front strut bar and anti-roll, but still a BIG improvement over the stock handling.

Bumps
The cars feels more stable when going to the bump , no wobbly feeling and body roll.(There was one incident i went over a high bump too fast and hit the bar as it is positioned lower then the car under carriage)

Verdict : For such a small price (RM75) it is a worthwhile upgrade to give the little prius c more fun, might want to install this first try it out , if need more install Front Strut and Rear Anti Roll, for me as a daily use car the mid bar is sufficient, downside .. felt that the car is under powered now yawn.gif (psychologically) need more power for more fun as the car is more stable now .. LOL .. icon_rolleyes.gif
