    Thanks! There is a little more gap than I'd like but the main reason for the spring swap it to reduce body roll and try to restore decent handling. With 134k miles on the stock suspension, things are getting mushy.

    Mac just wants me to copy him and minic his Asian persuasion. : p

    It is a bit like saying my new toy is obsolete before I even open it. LOL

    Yeah, your car definitely looked more funky/goofy than the stock V with 17" wheels before the drop. Good thing you dropped it.

    Haha... I wish my opinion had that much weight Mac. I'm all for F8L lowering his Prius, especially for the handling difference. But his Prius still looks good without the drop. :)

    Anyone know if Southland Motoring is still in business? I've been calling their number for weeks and all I get is the answering machine. Even left a message and never got a callback. I'm looking for a place in OC that can install my Eibach springs for a good price.

    You wouldn't happen to have a contact number for Midnight Garage would you? I tried looking at their website but there is no phone number listed. Found a number for them on yp.com but it seems like phone is disconnected. Are they even still around?
