    I am looking into buying a set of coilovers for my second gen, and my two main options are KSport or Tanabe. I know I will sacrifice some ride comfort to go with pillow ball mounts, but is it even worth it on a short wheelbase car like a prius? On my old supra I had Pillow ball upper mounts and the road noise and comfort loss was bearable, but it was definitely not a daily driver. Has anyone installed pillow ball uppers on any of their coilovers and is it bearable?
