    I have a 2015 prius c and was wondering if they have TRD springs for it. If not what would be the next best thing?

    Thanks. Sorry if this has already been covered but I couldn't find anything in the search tab.

    TRD springs are available, as they are the same as used on the Yaris. There is much info on PriusChat. Do a search......

    this can't be right. Rear shocks on C are heavier, same as on xD. Fronts are the same as Yaris

    Front are the same for Yaris/xD. Rear would sag too much due to the weight of the battery. I currently have Tanabe DF210 on my C and they still sag a bit compared to the front.

    Anyone knows non-lowering springs which maintain height but stiffer?

    The springs are set for a 1inch drop at the front and 1 1/2 drop at the back, its not sagging but designed that way.

    Has anyone installed RS-R Down SUS Springs? How does the ride compare to stock?
