Contemplating purchasing and installing lowering springs on my 2011. Plan on going with the tein h techs; as a reputable company and great price they can't be beat. I'm just a little cautious about installing because I don't want to cause issues, such as rapid tire wear and such. Do you need camber kits? Any recommendations or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Hi I installed the same springs and they work great I didn't change anything just the springs I went and had the aliment done and the only thing out was the toe I don't think lowering the car had anything to do with the toe the car looks great
That's great my car came with 17 on it so I just changed the wheels and keep the same tires the ride didn't change much its easy to do only took me 3 hours to do
Im on Htechs with the stock 15s. They have been on the car for over a year with no issues. Along with the rear SB and Mike500s front and middle chassis stiffener, the car handles amazing. I think all I need is rims to take it to that next level of handling.
I have the H techs on my 2011. My avatar pic is with the Scion 17s and 215/45/17 but I currently run them on 15's.
Installed the H Techs on my 2011 IV about a month ago...rolling on stocks...there's a good step by step guide here with pictures...took about 4 hours...
Thanks Bro...still new to the modding game but it's one crazy addiction!!! Enkei EKM3's 18' are on the way =)
Will do. Anybody have trouble getting in and out of driveways or such with the h techs on the stock 15's?
Depends on how steep the driveway is. Any lowered car can make it into any driveway if you master the angle approach.
Got around to installing the H-Techs. Love the drop. Also threw on a set of chrome lower rocker moldings.
I've scoured the PriusChat forums looking at photos of fellow members Prii on aftermarket wheels, from 16's to 18's. I must say the OEM 15's have really grown on me since dropping my car. Just wish they were about an inch larger in diameter.
I know the feeling...I just picked up some Enkei EKM3 18's, i actually pieced it out and they arrived yesterday...I'll probably get some tires on them mid April...it took me a while to choose, find something you like and pull the trigger! Post em when you get em! Gluck!
