    I don't understand why Toyota says they are incompatible. Don't they even list them as accessories on their site?

    I had my TRD lowering springs installed AT the Toyota dealer. The online accessory sales guide doesn't show them as an available accessory for the PiP for whatever reason, but they install and work just as well as on an ordinary Gen III Prius. I also have the rear anti-sway bar.

    The dealer didn't hesitate? They didn't decline warranty and say they aren't responsible for any damages. My dealer said he would void my warranty because the toyota corp told them the product isn't compatible.

    The rear TRD anti-sway bar will work fine with stock springs.

    Does your TRD RSB rub when you get out of the driveway? I had it installed this weekend with TRD springs. TRD was fine. But when I added the TRD RSB going out the same drive way. I hear a grinning noise. Feel like the RSB hitting on something. I might have to go sideway when backing up
