    Awesome! I'm installing front and rear Hotchkis sways along with the coils. Already running 18x8.5 with 215/40/18 all around. Can't wait to feel the difference with the sway bars.

    For what it's worth, using the same part number as listed on the HybridPit site, Tire Rack is offering Hotchkis sway bars for $260 shipped.

    Today was a day for detailing the car; she won't be this clean again for a while.

    IMG_6966.JPG swapped out the OEM headlight assembly for the the OEM PIP headlight assembly. I like the hint of blue in the PIP.

    Also swapped out the Drag center cap for some TRDs on the rims

    Already received my trd coils, 1.5" drop appx., Toyota approved product. Looking at deals on shocks and struts, then do it all at once. Maybe do brakes as well. Would be a big weekend of diy for me. If anyone has best options for shocks, struts, pads and rotors it would be nice to hear from you?

    SGH-M919N ?

    Hi guys.
    I'm in the final stage of testing a performance mod;). The last thing I want to do is a 0-60 acceleration test with a stock Prius. If anyone is available in SoCal, let me know so we can find a safe location to get the results :sneaky:

    When the time comes to replace my struts & shocks I will likely go with Konis; I bought the Koni Sport Kit (Koni struts with H&R Springs) for my Subaru from Cracked Up Racing. I have no idea if they can help; you'll have to do some shopping for a deal.

    I had the front strut housings powder coated yellow to match the rears.

    I used Rich at RotorPros.net for my Subaru Legacy GT and my Volvo V70R; I installed rotors, pads and steel braided brake lines on both cars. I like the product, pricing and quick shipping.

    Edit: Rich just quoted me $350 for rotors (drilled and slotted if you like), pads and steel braided brake lines shipped to your door. The lines definitely give you a firmer pedal.

    If no one steps up to volunteer for your tests, maybe this website can serve as a decent reference.
    Toyota 0-60 Times & Toyota Quarter Mile Times | Toyota Supra, Avalon, Camry, Tundra, Celica, MR2 & more 0 to 60 stats!

    It looks like any zero to sixty time of less than 9.7 is a gain.
