Hi guys, I got my springs installed yesterday. Here are some before and after shots for those of you interested: Before: After: Before: After:
The drop was 1.2" in the front and 0.8" in the back. The ride is definitely has a much tighter feel compared to stock. Lower stance, less body roll. Hard to tell how much the springs alone helped out handling-- I also had a rear sway bar and a front strut tower brace put in within the same week. Overall the car handles much better.
Thanks for posting up your results. I just purchased a Pro-Kit and KYB struts for my GenII. I'm excited to get rid of excess wheel gap and body roll.
I am waiting for my Eibachs and front lower bar (Tanabe) and upper (Tanabe) hopefully I don't wobble in windy weather!!
If you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay and where did you buy it? This is exactly what i want for my setup
I got the Eibach pro-kit from tirerack.com for about $230 shipped. They had to special order 'em because they didn't have a set in-stock for the Prius. Someone else posted on here that you can get them for about $200 shipped (unfortunately, mine were already on their way to the shop). I got them installed at a local shop for $200.
Only 0.8" in the rear ? It looks lower, more like 1.2" in the rear too. I heard that the Eibach indeed are 1.2" drop front and rear even the description says 0.8" Have you measured the height before and after? Thanks for the pics
No, I forgot to. I should've. Currently the rear sits 650mm (25.6 inches) from the rear bottom-center of the wheel to the rear fender. You can check it with your stock height.
Yes, drive 500 miles or so to let the springs "settle" and then get an alignment. I got the Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs for $200 shipped from AutoAnything with the use of a 10% off coupon and free shipping (advertised on their site). I'll be getting mine installed this week.
Hello! I'M new to the prius community. Just got my 2013 CPO Prius from NOHO Toyota a few weeks ago. I'M enjoying the car so far, however I'M not liking the ride comfort so I purchased some H&R springs from tire rack. I was wondering if anybody who lives in, or near the San Fernando Valley could help me find a shop to install my springs? Thanks for any help peace
better watch your wallet....once you come to the Mod Party.."Primoditius" will get you...and you will start losing sleep about what you can afford next to do to your Prius.
