    I bought a front swaybar replacement kit for Corrola that folks on PriusChat says will fit, while also increasing performance. Haven't installed it yet to confirm. Have yet to read of someone use Corrola shocks instead of Prius, but hope someone buys these and confirm they work!

    Corolla struts front for an AE111 will bolt right up to the Prius The problem is the ears that hold the front hub assembly the aluminum thing the AE11 has a steel or iron hub and so it's much skinnier the space the ear spacing on the strut so the Prius the spacing is correct then it's the right profile it's just not wide enough to fit that aluminum hub assembly into. But the matrix stuff the rear shocks struts whatever they look exactly like the generation 2 these are the ones if you buy the XS or XRS that's the four-wheel drive matrix that's the one that sits up a little bit probably about an inch and a half inch 1.7 in without having to do anything no spacers on the top nothing just bolt those in and go I listed the coil overs here I'm not going to buy the coilovers I'm just buying the XRS or XR4 matrix 2011 or so the 4 complete struts w springs they're like 299 that should put you well whoever wants to be about 1.5 to 1.7 in higher than what you're taking out just look at a matrix XRS a little four-wheel drive looking thing they're all over town.
