    Tanabe DF210s on stock 15" rims.
    This is 1 week after installation. Hoping springs settle more. Ride quality is decreased, noises from small bumps or dips are much louder but I'll deal with it, the car looks a lot better. Planning to move up to 18" wheels this summer.

    Three months and 3,000 or so miles later and 100% satisfied with these springs.

    lowered my prii with tanabe lowering spring last year and noticed today that the left side is more lowered that the right. About a half inch difference and I guess my suspension is failing. (n)
    I guess I have a reason to shop for coilovers. ;)

    Four months with the DF's and the new 18" TSWs, couldn't be happier. Now that it's finally warming up, mileage is back at 48 on average.
