    Got my spacers in looks sick even with the stock wheels lol.... I wonder why some cars the rear wheels sink in more than the fronts such as the prius?

    Anyways yes SBC camber kit is a good idea and cheap tooo... will order a set for the rears tomorrow.

    I got tires and new kics project neo chrome bolts YUMMY! so once those come in I'll take pics for sure.... trying to keep up with Robert, he's a machine...haha your car is art dude.

    Camber bolts only adjust up to 1.25 degrees for most. How much did you lower the car ? When I lowered my camry the bolts were not enough so I had shims put in. Cars in general have the front wheels more elevated so if you hit a bump while turning the wheels will still go. Also just for more clearance in general.

    The car is gone. Got ruined b/c someone hit it drunk driving, fortunately I was not in the car when it happened.

    Coilovers are great because you can adjust the height, shock compression and spring compression, but they are maintenance because you need to keep the threads clean.


    Springs are the way to go b/c it is less maintenance.

    There's a few more pics there.

    Thanks Robert. So the front bolts will fit for sure, but you are not sure if the rear bolts will fit?

    Thanks again Robert. Has any tried to install the SPC camber bolts in the rear?

    5Power, do you have any photos of you prius yet? I am considering the DF210 srings as well as the NF210.

    Thanks!

    I just found out the rear is camber shim and will not fit our car, will search around see if we can find a easy way to get more camber for the rear :(

    From alignment shop told me they can bend the rear arm for me to what ever camber and toe I want but I also check with dealer new rear arm will cost me close to $1000 so..................

    Is this what you're referring to that you need?

    Suspension Accessories for the Toyota Prius from HorsepowerFreaks

    Rear Camber Shims? (although it's for 01-08, perhaps might work on the 10?)

    Here are some updated pics of the car lowered, I also did some carbon fabric mods... I'm waiting on lug nuts right now, got some kics neo chrome.

    I have a set of 235/45/17 almost new tires from my last car.... I'm tempted to throw them on the 17x8 volks to save some cash what do u guys think? MPG will take a hit but it's all good I guess.

    I also got the factory leather seats which I will attempt to install haha, we'll see how bad I mess this up. Also a Pioneer avic Nav unit.
