    Yes, that's why I bought it now: the limited edition (the glossy white) is almost sold out. And on sale now. What's left.


    The wheels are 215-45-17. (.......that's the tire size....)

    Doing it isn't that hard for me......I did it on my gen2. Just being lazy & if my service gives me a good quote I'll go for it. If not I'm making a stop in the parts department while they do my 25k service.

    Any suggestions on dropping it? Tanabe? Eibach? I'm looking for no more than 1" drop (don't wanna look like too low) and DON'T wanna compromise comfort and ride.

    THX guys!

    I think the H&Rs would look the best with those wheels. The H&Rs lower the front a little more than the TRDs but the back rides higher than the TRDs which give the car a more aggressive raked look. I'm not sure about comfort though. I know the TRDs are fairly comfortable as far as springs go. Just don't air up up your tires too much! ;)

    I have H&R lowering springs and F8L is right. I really like the raked out look. The ride is not harsh at all and I have no rubbing issues. I paid about $200.00 from tire rack and had a local guy install them for $250.00 w/ alignment. The TRD's look good too. I couldn't find anyone that had Tien or Eibach in stock at the time. My drop was 1.6 in the front and 1.3 in rear. Good luck(y)

    I can tell what NOT to use from personal experience. Tanabe NF springs. The rears are lower than the front giving a retarded look...

    Today I cleaned my surf gear out of the Prius and readied it for my wife and daughter to take a quick road trip to AZ with our daughter to visit our dying Grandmother.
    • Glued a Garmin mount to the dash.
    • Washed windows and dash.
    • Cars seat for the kid in the back.
    6.5 hours each way with CC at about 65mph...I'm guessing she'll get 42mpg?
