    Well, here's the first set of pics of my new girlfriend. Sad isn't it? I still love her.

    PriusChat Forums - matt ackerman's Album: blustrrk_11

    I still can't decide whether to drop this bad girrl or not. My new 18's left way more of a gap than I was expecting, but feel the standard Eibach drop (.08" rear/1.2" front) is a bit too much for my taste.

    I think maybe .4" rear/.6" front would probably be just right-- if such a modest drop is even possible.

    What do you guys (and gals!) think?
    (sorry- I've got the front and rear drops reversed in the poll-- & don't see where I can correct that :-\

    Unlike most 18"-wheel Prius, yours doesn't look as funny or goofy undropped for some reason. It actually looks comparable to stock 17"-wheel Prius. Given that you're reluctant to drop it, I vote for no drop. However, if you do drop it go for Eibachs.

    Nice look with the DR-33s, which offset did you select?

    FYI, I voted for a drop, go for it!

    Very nice mods. Love the wheels and the tail lights. it looks good without the drop but if you do drop it, go with the Eibach's (0.8" rear/1.2 front).

    What are the specs of your wheels (including offsets) and tires? Yours is one of the very few 18"-wheel Prius that don't look odd or goofy undropped.

    Love the look of bronze on blue!
