    Nice D, welcome to the club! Read that owner's manual when you get a chance.

    Lowering springs; doesn't it already sit too low? I guess I don't understand lowering springs.

    Congrats on a new Prius and welcome to PriusChat. Black is such a rich color, so I hope you don't trick out the exterior too much.

    :welcome:

    I'm new here too but you sound like me... buy the car then immediately start modding! lol.

    What size wheels are you looking at? I want 18"s but there doesn't seem to be a lot of them out there.

    Good Luck!,

    Hey Cliff,

    I don't even like driving a new car unless I add a mod (suspension is the first mod usually)...haha...

    I'm either getting Teins or Tanabe springs tomorrow...I want 18" wheels in the long run (possibly the Axis 5 or the tried and true Rnkei RPF1s...

    Does the Tanabe or Tein spring fit 2011 Model? I've check their website, it only show Tanabe (TDF, TNF), Tein (SKQ08-G1B00) fits 2010 model. I want to make sure the 2010 Model will fit 2011 prius from both Tanabe or Tein.

    Have anyone tried to install a 2010 lowering spring on a 2011 Prius?

    Thanks
