    NEW, UNUSED custom Gen2 Prius Coils (4 count). Fit on OEM struts. Car was totalled, no longer will be installing.

    Custom coils 25% stiffer, 2" increase would be ideal for someone using Prius in offroad conditions frequently. This was my plan unfortunately driving while tired is not a joke... thank god I am alive.

    Here is the the paid quote for the springs. If anyone is interested DM me and we can talk about pricing.

    Sorry to hear about accident! I did enjoy reading about your project. I'm a home health therapist so I do a lot of driving on Rural roads and am interested an increasing clearance.
    Any idea how much it cost to have these installed ?
    I'm not terribly mechanically inclined and don't really have the know-how or tools.

    Hello, and sorry for the late response! Been a busy couple of weeks, dealing with work and some other obligations in my life.

    The mounting should cost you around $150 and then the installation I would think another $350-400, I can't see it taking a skilled mechanic longer than 8 hours for this job... at about $50-$60 an hour. So total probably $500-600 for both.

    I've been waiting to hear back from insurance to make sure it indeed considered a Total Loss, and they confirmed on Friday that it is :(
    If you're still interested, feel free to reply I'll put the email notifications on now :)
