    Hello new owner here just asking for those experienced owner about a few things, so i just got my new 2012 blizzard pearl prius had it for a week now and im loving it so why I am here is because I seen some posts of lowering their prius with springs and I was wondering would it work if I wanted to install air suspension?

    Have you looked under the car? It is already about as low as you need to be. Any more and I can just see the Prius stuck on a speed bump with all four wheels off the ground.

    Before you lower it get a tape measure and check your ground clearance WITH people in the seats.

    This was the post with the interesting visual... :D Would hate to be teetering on a speed bump... was bad enough learning that the front of a Prius can nose up real easy to curbs... luckily I stopped conservatively when my sister said "Do you realize how low the nose on your car is?!" As a result I cannot park worth squat but I am learning....
