    I am looking at upgrading my suspension of my 2014 Prius IV (VIN JTDKN3DU5E0394126), with Tein Flex Z with the EDFC Pro /w GPS. It is asking me for a Chassis Code (zvw30, 30L, 50, 51). Where do I look to find my chassis number on my car or how do I find out what it is?

    To all of the Pro's, out there any thoughts on these coil overs as far as handling, performance etc.?
    I looking for much better handling over stock since I drive a lot of curvy back roads.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I am a retired Navy Chief (Petty Officer) Hospital Corpsman. The 8404 was my primary NEC / MOS (job classification) for about 15 years. The 8404 means I was a Fleet Marine Force (FMF) Corpsman. I served as a combat Corpsman, 1/2 Marine, 1/2 Corpsman (field medical support)
    Definitely earned my strips during my time with the Marines! The greatest Brothers in Arms I have ever served with!

    I always thought the tein flex z line was super expensive but come to find out it's very reasonable

    Wow this is a very old thread! Glad you are thinking about choosing Tein! Unfortunately the Flex A lineup is on its last breath and will be discontinued to be replaced with RX1 which is very similar to Flex A
