    Here is the picture of my Prius after Tanabe Sustec Pro NF coilover installed. It came with the same NF210 springs. DF210 is probably lower but my coilover can adjust height so I can go even lower if I want to.

    The handling is so much better now. I can not detect any lean around the corners. I am wearing out the tires faster because I find myself cornering at faster speed with confidence. I can't wait to switch over to Kyowa rims come summer.

    Sorry about the quality because they were taken with BlackBerry Bold.

    I was able to get a haircut with Sustec Pro NF after the snow storm.

    I feel the bumps less for the small and medium ones but I feel it more going over big ones. The spring and shocks absorb small - medium ones well and the springs are stiffer so I feel more for the big ones. The ride feels much more sporty now. I also noticed less traction control kicking in.

    I have gotten great comments that it is not too stiff or too soft. I am still fine-tuning it to my liking.
