    Hey everyone,

    I posted in an earlier thread about the Valenti tail lights that I recently installed. I also have our car lowered on RSR drop springs and 17" Enkei RPF1's. I like the drop, it's not too low and the ride is still pretty decent. The main reason for going with the 17's was to retain the gas mileage on the car. They come in at about 15lbs and some change. Really like the combo so far. I wanted to post this up for everybody, because when searching the web I couldn't find any pictures of the Prius v on the RSR springs. So anybody thinking about them you kinda have an idea of how low it'll get you. Thanks.[​IMG]

    Kazoku & Bigwoodman-Sorry that's the only good photo I had that day. I'll try to get some more shots for you guys. Really debated on going bigger on the wheel size, but I didn't want to let go of the mileage and cushion the tires provided. The tires are 225/50's. Really like the look of the 18's on Kazoku's wagon, and I've even seen some v's with 19's and 20's that look really sharp too.

    Grren4ever-Thanks the suspension seems pretty good and it rides well. It had one of the lower drops of the coils that I could find about 1.5".

    Got some pics from more angles to get a better idea of the drop.

    H-dogg the RSR springs are specific for the v and just needed to drop them in.

    xliderider- It was at Waipio corp park this past weekend. They had some cars out there and just went with the family to check it out. Okinawan festival is this weekend too.

    I have the same wheels on my 2014 Prius. What about center caps? I've only found $26 caps from Enkei. Any ideas for alternatives?

    Medicinemom-I actually prefer them without the center caps. I'm not sure if it's a standard size, but I'm pretty sure you can find something. What's the wheel specs, if you don't mind me asking?

    Lowered, means less air goes underneath, so should mean less drag = better fuel economy.

    Xterra72 I actually took the wheels off for now and tried using my stocks after I plastidiped them white. I actually like the look with the white wheels. Might chug around like that for a while.
