    The eBay led parking lights I bought a year ago are out. I installed these last night. They are bright and will definitely outlast the old ones.

    Love the 2016 lx570 but I rather the TLC since it doesn't have the air suspension. I'm gonna lift mine for sure!

    Haha! I would drive a Highlander, I saw a lowered one 2012 and it had me thinking...


    Nothing was wrong with Prius I was experimenting with fuses and I forgot to put them all back in. I literally did it so long ago I'm surprised it didn't trigger it sooner... Car has 143500 no problems....

    Still want a land cruiser!!!

    Your pic sealed the deal. I'm placing an order for some PF01's. Did you do anything to the wheels? They almost look polished in that lighting.

    Well I have a 2013 performance plus w TRD springs and rsb, forged wheels and low profile tires. Thing handled like a dream, but then I found this site and walla.... They actually make Prius suspension mods. So a week ago I added the Cusco mid and front brace.... Wow! Feels like a go cart ... But with that came a fair amount of road vibration transferred to my seat. Ok for me but consider comfort before you add these. My Cusco rear brace and left hand drive strut brace arrived today!
    But today I Plasti Dipped all my emblems and put at on fiber vinyl over the blue plastic that sits under each toyota emblem. Plato Dip tip: if you are using it in under 60 deg weather sit the can in warm water between coats. It spray much more smoothly when warm.

    Thanks for this info, I'm thinking about doing just the cusco mid brace since I have the strut brace. You guys are crazy with all the braces/sway bars lol!

    I havnt modified a car in over 17 years. Once I found out I can modify my Prius I kinda went crazy. Love all the mods so far and look forward to installing the $114 rear brace this week and the front strut bar a few days after that. Then eventually I'll do the front sway bar and that other $99 front brace Cusco makes. I see Ultra Racing makes a rear strut bar and a floor bar that goes behind the front seats.... Those are too much for me.

    Today I had my cousin lower my car with TRD Springs. He also changed my oil - Mobil-1 0W-20, cabin filter, air filter, spark plugs, and changed the transmission fluid.

    Previous Mods: Morimoto HID, exterior and interior LED bulbs.

    Car drives pretty smooth and is much more stable with the springs. I like how the car drives and feels lower to the ground. The springs definitely lowered the car quite a bit, before there was at least a 4 finger gap now theres a 1.5-2 finger gap.

    Nice! Why did you go with the TRD springs route rather than coils? I've been going back and forth between the two . I just wanna lower my car and I'm not planning on raising it or lowering it frequently so I just need a permanent drop. I'm just worried that the stock struts would give out.

    Here a pic of my baby

    I just needed a subtle drop and a smooth ride. I figured these TRD springs are "stock" springs on the Plus model so it should be fine with stock shocks. If I had coils I would never raise and lower my car anyways. The drop with these springs are sufficient to my liking.

    Btw, someone is selling a set from SoCal right now in the sales section

    We think alike. The same reason I went with TRD Springs. Enjoy your ride.
