Whats up guys Migs from B&G Suspension Systems.. Just wanted to let you guys now we have just released our popular S2 Sport Springs for the 04-09 Toyota Prius (non Touring). Our S2 Sport Springs lower the Prius 1" front and Rear. As with all of our products the S2 Springs have a lifetime warranty and are manufactured in Europe. For more info on pricing contact the Shop here on Priuschat and ask how to get B&G Suspension products.
Looks good. Any before/after spring rate information? How is the ride/handling with the springs? Are the stock dampers able to keep up with the springs? How much bump travel is left after lowering the car an inch? Is it necessary to trim the bump stops at all?
The car rides very well after the spring install.. It is much more planted. Yes the stock shocks will hold up fine to the mild drop. there is still plenty of travel left after lowering.. and as far as I remember there was no trimming necessary The touring uses a Bigger diameter rear spring.. If there is enough interest in the Touring Springs its not a problem for us to make them
It all sounds good, except the 1" lowering. I live in a rural area & ground clearance can be a problem & I couldn't drive my car during an ice storm this winter, took 45minutes to make 7 miles in my 4wd pickup. I have stongly been considering the skid plate as protection. Do you make an improved spring without losing ground clearance? It simply is not acceptable in my environment. Sounds like the easiest way to improve my suspension.
Sounds good to me. The drop on that Prius on the picture looks really nice too. __________________ audi oem parts
I would appreciate if someone from B & R could confirm is standard height springs are available. I live in a rural area, ie not all roads are paved & with hills & rain = ruts, sometimes deep. I have to really pick my spots when I'm in my Prius. I am going to add the front skid plate in the future. I am concerned about the low hanging exhaust system now & have to really weave trying to keep it from dragging & hear a light ding once in awhile from lightly dragging. If I lived in an urban area I could go with the lowering from the looks & lower center of gravity standpoint. But I don't, so need the ground clearance. The Prius has a fairly long wheelbase for a car its size & that exhacerbates the problem.
If you are referring to the car it is driving around the San Diego Area.. It belongs to the uncle of one of our employees.. If you are referring about the product you can come check it out anytime.. just let me know.. our address is on our website at the bottom of the page.
Im sorry we will not be offering a standard height / higher rate spring for the Prius. One main advantage to the lower ride height is less drag/ lower center of gravity = better gas mileage.
Thanks! I couldn't figure out the website before (now I know ... you have to search the site specifically for springs for your year Prius).
Hey OP, do I need to go to a distributor or can I buy directly from ya'll since I'm down the street lol?
Too bad, I can not use it as we get snow here. The drive was also scratch the front lip if I head in straight so I have to go in at an angle.
Oh that's even better! $60 less than the $299 MSRP! I didn't see it before on the Sigma Prius page (it's new and at the very bottom). And I had thought Sigma's prices were all on the higher side.
I'm interested in an installation for the Touring. Are you saying you're not able to handle that yet? Thanks.
We can manufacture the Springs thats not the problem.. we need to justify the cost of making the springs.. If we can get 25 people to commit to them we will make them.
