    Good job, Xterra72, very nice and clean mod, I like it!
    I'm thinking to get TRD springs and RSB. is there anything I should be aware of or I can just bring it to any garage and told them to do that for me? Do I need to do alignment after that? Lastly, where did you get those springs and RSB from?

    Sorry for the novice level questions, drive safe!

    The TRD springs actually comes with instructions. Any shop should be able to do that for you. The dealer will charge you twice the price of an independent shop. If you are talking about the white Rear Strut Brace, that can be purchased on ebay. I will post the link later. Thanks for the kind comments. Happy modding.

    Thanks for the fast reply, to be honest, what I want to do is to reduce "some" body lean without sacrificing too much of the stock ride feel.
    All the results of my research pointed to TRD lowering Springs and Cusco rear sway bar (on your very first post)
    I recently sold my w203 C-class and being really happy with everything on my new Prius, except for the body lean is a little bit too much
    Is that better to use what I listed above with front strut tower bar? Thanks again :)

    Best bang for your buck are the TRD Springs, the Cusco rear sway bar and then the front strut tower bar.

    @JamesKFChiu

    PM @sfv41901 when you are ready for someone to do the install for you. He's does lots of work for people on this forum.
    I highly recommend him and others will too... (y)

    Cool, thanks Xterra72, I'll definitely put those on top of my shopping list! Time to search for parts :p

    KRE PER, I guess you can read my mind!
    the next question I'm going to ask is where to have those good stuffs installed in SoCal area, and you just pointed that out, how cool it is!

    You are very lucky to live in that area. @sfv41901 is the best mod specialist around and he lives close to you.

    It could also be bad for you because there are alot of modified prius in that area and you would want what everyone else has and alot of $$$$$ to get all the aftermarket parts you want. It's a never ending battle. Haha.

    Xterra72: Haha, that's very true. I have seen some nice one when I commute. Perhaps I will join Uber fleet to put this baby make money for her own modifications.

    @sfv41901, I'll hit you up with soon once I got the parts ready.
    @Xterra72, KRE PER, thanks for all the comments, they really helped me a lot
