ive noticed that when I park next to other 2012 Priuses, mine is considerably lower than the rest. the side mirror is like 1-2 inches lower than the other prius side mirror... i checked the tires and they are properly inflated, have stock everything, so not sure why would that be happening. this happening to anyone else?
They are the same height. Did you buy yours used? If new, take a peek under the rear of the car and tell us what color the springs are.
That is the OE spring. So your car should not be lower than stock. 1. Double check your tire size and model. 2. Measure the distance from the ground to the top middle of your front driver side wheel well. Measure it like this:
exactly 26 inches, also tires look properly inflated and no tire pressure alarm has come up. tires are stock yokohama p195/65 r15
That's odd. My PIP is on stock springs right now and it is a little over 26.5" on the front drivers side. Measure the rear and get the tire size for me.
Pearl S measures 26 1/2" front and 26 3/4" rear. This may be affected by tyre pressure. I run 40 PSI front and 38 PSI rear. Try increasing your tyre pressure and see if it effects the measurement. The amount of "stuff" you carry in the car can also affect the ride height. Pearl S carries a lot of stuff in the storage tray, probably 40 lbs or so. I have the Bridgestone tyres, but I doubt the wheel/tyre combo would affect it too much, maybe 1/2" or so. They try to match the overall wheel/tyre diameter to keep the speedo and odo accurate.
Mine are between 42-44psi on average. If his front tires are below 30psi I could see losing 1/2" in height.
