I lowered my wife's 10 Prius III on Eibach springs but she really wants me to change back to stock as she has hit several things. It does seem to sit lower than I thought but it looks good too. I was wondering if the TRD spring drop is less than the Eibach springs? Does anyone know or have pics to compare them. I know this to be true on my 09 Corolla but I love my Eibach drop on that car. Any help would be appreciated. You can see the difference on a Corolla in this pic. Eibach is the silver car & TRD is the red one.
From what I understand Eibach makes the TRD springs, so they are exactly the same. The tanabe's are the ones you go with for the more aggressive drop. TRD for the less aggressive drop. I am still tossed up on the idea of the TRD springs (def can't do the tanabe's) for the reasons you mention. Potholes are terrible around here and I'm worried I'd wreck my front lip on a parking block or speed bump....
I just collected all the "drops" for the various springs yesterday.. trying to decide myself: All of the front and rear drops were explicitly stated somewhere (mostly manufacturer, but some I found on websites that sell them).. except for the TRD one.. I googled it a bit and couldnt find any published numbers.. only what other people here said.
I was hoping that the TRD springs were less of a drop than the Eibach springs as is the case for my 09 Corolla. For whatever reason it just seems that the drop from Eibach springs seems to be more than what is listed.
