What did you do to ur Gen III Prius today????

For some reason the white looks better in B&W photos unless its in front of something heavily contrasting…. But a good wash and wax keeps the car looking photo ready all the time… and I like that you can't tell there's a clear bra on the car lol

 

Looks really good. you mean they look like twins

 

Thank you so much @sfv41901. I can't say enough how pleased I am with the install and happy that he lives within the area. A+ install.

Sean is really passionate about his work and a true genius when it comes to anything related to Prius parts and assembly.

Now the ugly, do not go to Alex from Fuzion Technique in Gardena if you care about your Prius. I had the unfortunate luck of having him install my Prius Plus Kit ($100), and K2Motor Fog Lights with grill ($120). My plus kit is missing bolts, clips, and fastners. While my fog lights were directly hard wired (meaning they are still on even when I shut off my car) causing my battery to drain when I forgot to turn them off. He might be cheaper and faster, but he will take shortcuts and mess up your car like he did with mine.

I only trust @sfv41901 when it comes to installs. A seasoned vet when it comes to Prius aftermarket equipment and OEM instillation.

 

Love the underbody lights - reminds me of the first fast and furious movie where the 3 black Honda civic's jacked semi-trailers

 

Thank you so much @sfv41901. I'm so satisfied with the installs you've done for me earlier today.

I was on TRD springs but I wanted to be lower so Sean recommended Tein coilovers a few months back and I finally had him install the kit for me. Sean was right when he told me the ride is smooth. To me it rides better than stock. The drop is perfect and I love the look.

Once again if you need some mods or installs done, you have to go to @sfv41901! Just like what @Bullet Salvador said in his post, his installs are so clean. I love that he explains to me exactly what he is doing. He also answers all my questions and his family is awesome!

Thank you again and I'll see you again soon!

 

@sfv41901 doing what he does best!

 

Wow, that is nice and low. Does Tein use linear springs in this coilover set?

 

Types of Springs
From Teins website
"There are two basic types of springs, progressive and linear. A progressive spring is one in which the spring rate varies depending on the amount of load placed on the spring. So the actual spring rate is not a fixed number, it is more of a range. OEM vehicle springs and most lowering springs (including TEIN) are almost all progressive type springs. They offer good performance and ride when the damper length is set, meaning no adjustable spring seat or length."

"The second type is linear springs, which have a fixed spring rate. This means the amount of weight needed to compress the spring a certain amount does not change. Linear type springs are used on most coilover type suspensions. All TEIN coilovers utilize a linear spring, as do many other brands of coilovers. Linear springs make performance more consistent as the driver can better anticipate the suspension movement."

 

Before with TRD springs



After with Tein Coilovers:



The ride quality of the Tein coilovers is so smooth it feels just like as if you were on stocks. It's awesome!

My TRD springs are for sale for $100 if any of you in the San Diego area are interested. There is nothing wrong with the TRD springs. I just wanted to go lower. It only has about 600 miles on it.

 

Omg I want but no where near you...

 

Tell him to ship them suckers to ya! lol

 

Wiring up the illuminated door sills... On the 2010 per in the instructions there was a white wire with blue stripe on it and one was white and had a red stripe.... on the 2012 like mine there solid colors 1 red 1 blue.... so which is negative and which is positive? Any know

 

My experience was a little wonky too and the colors did not match up. I just connected everything up, prayed for the best and it worked. Hopefully u can figure it out!
