Who has done a shock/strut upgrade?

Same as stock. Springs don't change the front rear weight distribution.

 

your selling the Z-40 ?

 

do you happen to have the specs for our stock springs + TRD springs ?
thanks !!! I don't want too much of a drop either. Leaning towards the Tanabe's now

 

which megan ones do you have ?

how's the drop and ride comfort ?

 

All of the drops I noted are referenced off of the stock height. If you scroll to the right, you can see the spring rates for stock. I'm not sure of the TRD rates, but most people tend to think they are rebranded Eibachs.

 

why does the trd drop more in the front than back?

and i've scraped my prius too many times already with the trds. this is the first time that I'm driving a lowered car. I try to take everything at angles and slow but some speed bumps are just plain mean. i think i seared off both nubs of the tanabe front brace. so i picked up pro s-oc's. ( spend more $ to fix a problem? ). what drops do you guys recommend?

 

tommy is selling at the private sales forum. but damn, they're expensive.

 

I think there is a little difference in specs vs real life. Most people, I believe, are reporting about 1" all around

My Prius is like a 4x4 compared to my Integra that rides on H&R race springs. I have about 2 1/4" to 2 3/4" clearance in some spots. Talk about gritting your teeth when you go over speed bumps (which I try to avoid at all costs). I'm targeting about a 1- 1 1/4" drop which should give me about 2.5"+ inches from my Integra at the lowest points. I'm sure there are some times when I will have to be careful, but it should be enough to get over all but the tallest bumps.

 

Just find a truck stop and run it up in their scale, they can give you a f/r weight.

 

i bought the Z40's today ><

 

Dang-it! I was noodling those.

 

haha,

 

street series. it rides really well especially that the damper is adjustable. it suits my everyday needs. i don't have the exact measurements but i went down to approx 2 inches and still have room to play with.

 

Will the Tanabe NF210's work with a 2013? I put these on a 2006 Accord that my sis-in-law now owns and I always like the ride, which was basically stock.

Also, any rear camber issues? Looks to me like the rear camber on a Prius is fully adjustable?

 

had no camber issues. and there is no camber adjustment on the prius. not unless you put shims on the rears.

 

There has to be some sort of adjustment. How are some people dropping 2" with no noticeable negative camber??

 

The rear is a solid axle.

 

Gotcha, was just looking that up. Not a multilink like I'm used to on the Honda's/Acura's I've worked on.

 

I ended up going with the tanabe Z 40's

 

So, um, anyone have an answer to this question?
