    I believe it will lead to more harsh cornering points on the app. And there's nothing wrong with that. ;):cool:

    This the Toyota App? My salesperson is dropping off the car tomorrow at 9am and said this was the only thing we need to do when they get here. It actually tracks how you drive?

    Yes, if you opt in. It's called drive pulse and trips.

    The 1" drop sounds pretty ideal. I'll probably wait a little longer to see what else comes out but I will definitely be doing springs and a rear sway bar at the minimum. I don't really want to fork out 2k for a set of coil-overs and risk having too firm of a ride. The stock ride is pretty good but I think the weight transfer/body roll could be tidied up a bit.

    Yeah, when i see my car sit next to a stock Model 3 at a charge station, the Prius does look higher. I'll for sure be doing springs. If others are not released in the next few months I'll likely order those RS-R's.

    100% plug and play. Find it on eBay for about $80 for the complete kit. Yep, more than worthwhile!

    That is like the red bullet thing that some people say it works and others that is just a scam/snake oil/etc, search for "red bullet vvti" on the forum to see those very detailed discussions

    Those are some of the most legit wheel spacers I've ever seen with the extended lug nuts, washers etc. Some will argue increased wear and tear on wheel bearings but I doubt it's even measurable.

    Add me to the non-believer crowd. The ECM controls the VVTI actuation, one would think they would tune them for optimal performance from the factory?
