So, Toyota is suggesting improved performance by removing a rigid chassis reinforcement strut and replacing it with a shock absorber which permits some of the flex. Wouldn't this suggest the chassis was designed to allow the flex in the first place? Why supply the car with the OEM braces, if this is the case? How is a flexy chassis going to make the suspension work better? None of this makes any sense.


The only thing I see this part doing is removing some NVH, which might give the impression of a more solid chassis, but wouldn't simply removing the OEM bars do the same thing?
