Installed TRD "Prius Plus" springs

Well I have emailed a few places on eBay, and they are actually more expensive than another supplier online who I'd rather buy from but they won't ship to UK.

And to be honest I think I'd prefer the H&R now as you get a front down stance with a slight "nice person Up" look so when I've got the kids in the back and crap in the boot ill get a more flatter stance.

 

If that is the look you want, which I happen to like, then the H&Rs are definitely the better choice. Cheaper too I think. You may want to PM Sean (sfv41901) and see how he felt about his H&Rs while he had them.

 

Since it hasn't been posted in this thread yet.

TRDs, H&Rs and TRDs

 

interesting the shades of white in that photo.. show's the "pearl" effect.

 

SF Biker,
Are you the guy that made the ♥ ?

With the Prius Plus you also get the rear sway bar and the spec'd 17" wheels and tires.

You have something that works according to Toyota.

 

Guys, why so much talk about looks and feelings?
It's all about measurable function, right?
You can/should talk about 'feelings and looks' to your girlfriends.
Cars have quantifiable results.

Don't tell,,,,,

 

Today Was a true test of the TRD springs. Myself and three buddies, all of which are around 200 plus lbs went on a thirty mile ride. I must say the Prius never bottomed out or scraped the fender wells. I got so confident that I took a couple of exit ramps pretty fast and never heard anything rub. I Love this car!!

 

Poor Prius. Must have been struggling.

 

Was that pic adjusted to increase contrast / lower brightness? It's pretty difficult to tell the different ride heights of the H&Rs and TRDs due to the all the blackness in the wheel wells....

 

Agreed. Another reason I don't like black wheels. . You can see the stance difference in the middle car though. While I was there we measured the ride height of the cars and the TRDs were always lower in the rear and higher in the front than the H&R car.

The picture was not edited. One could make adjustments to show the wheel well gap more though. I can't do it from home so if someone is willing to make the changes then go for it. I'll save the picture and use it in future posts.

 

Dont have a clue but...can't ever have enough.

 

So if you could do it again, which springs would you go with (ride quality and appearance)?

 

What is this "boot" you speak about... must be a UK only feature on the Prius...

 

It's British-speak for "trunk".

 

Y

Yep, the trunk!

 

Now tell him what "Bonnet" is and blow his mind.

 

Say Bros',

What do you "Tire Gap" Stylistas think of my set up with a BIG 'tire gap'?
Too little? Too much? Just right?

 

lol, for that amount of snow I'd say your still several inches too low

Global Warming is a bitch huh...

 

Lower.

 

Wow, now those 8 seasons of Top Gear are starting to make sense...
