    yes.. just the basic... if you're looking on just to adjust the height this would work... but if you fancy the dampening adjustment then you'll have to go with the SS...... the ride on the basic is pretty good... my wife drives the car and she doesn't complain......

    and yes... I'm going for something different.... it will still be coilovers.... :D

    getting coilovers prevent our stock shocks and struts to wear out correct ?

    yes it would prevent that because when you go with coilovers it would replace you're shocks and struts....

    I'm going with HKS hypermax ...

    Yeah, I'd CF the mbro. The mismatch looks out of place.

    a little busy today...

    [​IMG]

    installed front and rear sway bars.... uninstalled the Tein coilovers and installed HKS coilovers.... (tein coilovers are okay but I just want to go little bit more low)... was nat able to install the lip as I want to see how low the car will be after the suspension settles.... the tanabe brace was not installed .. a little bit too low for me - based on my current car height..(I'll just sell it)

    here's a comparison on the height (fronts only) of the Tein and HKS coilover...

    I'll post pics of the car with the HKS soon....

    I'm pretty sure the Tom's you're rolling on are 18x7.5, could be wrong, but can you tell me about the tires. Are they the Continental DWS ? And what size. I'm picking up some new tires this week and I just love the look of your set up.

    My wife drives our Prius also.. I finally convinced her that driving a slammed car is like her walking around in her 5 inch heels lol.. So she finally agreed!! The Prius is getting lowered more when I get a chance. So you couldn't get this low on the tanabes? I feel like I could get as low as you with my tanabes..Car looks great btw!!
