    Newbie here, just picked up my 2014 PiP last week!

    Has anyone lowered their PiP with TEIN Street Advance Damper Coilovers yet? The person ordering it for me said it won't fit?!

    How can that be? Please if anyone knows.

    Congratulations on your purchase! TEIN Street Advance Damper Coilovers fit like a glove. Some ordering sites may not of updated their data base to include your 2014 PiP.

    I would NEVER mess with the suspension on this car. It's finely tuned with traction and stability controls, and self-leveling headlamps.

    The headlights are not self leveling on the PIP even with LED headlights

    Confirmed they are not self-leveling. Aside that this car will never be driven in the dark. It's my commute car to work and semi-show car. Pictures to come soon. (RSV Forged 3-Piece wheels coming soon)

    What about the fact that the PiP is heavier in the rear end? Even if they will physically fit, will coilovers intended for "ordinary" Priuses work with the PiP rear end?
