    @SubCode - What spacers are you running?

    Front?

    Rear?

    Thank you.

    Let me know if you want to sell the rear spacers.

    Keep in mind you'll still need to buy extended studs.

    they come with the regular studs and Ive been running these hubcentric CB 54.1 for over a year with no problems with 17x7 stock wheels.
    so it looks like this...

    UPDATE.....I would say honestly unless you already had coilovers...then you should not do this mod...mainly because it changes the way you drive and the overall sedate way a Prius is designed for....This mod turns your car into a beast like adding steroids it will make your car suspension drive tighter and I'm speaking about "Airrex struts"...there is some give and take with my 100 mile 24 hour review..I don't like the way it feels at bumper to bumper slow traffic...stop to 10 mph tends to be not as smooth as regular driving speeds,10-70+...at the higher speeds it tracks like a torpedo...and the suspension soaks up bumps and imperfections with the street, railroad tracks, road or highway like a champ...I need to dial it in for my personal driving taste, so I will update everyone on this new experience...

    Went back to Infinite for some dampening....OH WOW...what a difference..set to the lowest or soft...made a huge difference...Now the bumps and dips gently respond....no more jarring like it was the first couple of days..makes me see the reason why ppl sell the complete rig.
    mine is not for sale...Im already use to performance suspension...there is no perfect system that can please me or anyone else..Its a personal thing. What feels good to me..maybe to harsh( ride quality ) for you. So yeah its air and your car will drive significantly different...but it is smoother and tolerable...not stock at all..if thats what your looking for...then you not wasted your money ..Now I have the ability to control the height of my car ...high for flooding, big drops or steep driveway exits and entrances, medium to keep styling while driving and then dropped to the lowest when I park..or stunt at the show....dope!

    new pic without the 25mm spacer, the 15 wont work because I have to cut the studs...so I will wait for new rims...until then this is what it looks like..[​IMG]
    short air out video (with the 25mm rear spacer)...will update after recalibrating the new low.

    OK..today was sweet...I broke a E-Level bracket..right rear...well it came loose after removing the 25mm spacers...which are sold...anyway..I had to go back to Brian/IAD...and I actually met Matt who did the install..Older engineer type of dude...designs speaker systems and very technical..I thought him not being Pinoy..would have him relating to me on a different universe....instead he gets it...He..re aligned the rear sensors, got it recalibrated and bang...it was right...super happy now..and he troubleshooted my iphone accuair app wifi connection too..got that working too...all in all..the install is done...I spent a lot but feel worth the 2 additional visits dialing this set up in finally got it right. I drove it and wanted it perfected to my liking...so I got it sorted right...well thats my experience and we can talk more about the install once we see each and I show peeps this Airrex/Accuair transformation. Hit me up for any more feedback.
