    I finally received my parts and installed everything. I decided on the TRD rear sway + Tanable front strut brace. Overall, I am happy with decision, as the ride quality and handling ability of the Prius have improved. However, by no means does the handling feel like a sports car.

    I have debated on installing the front underbrace, but have decided against it in light of other reviews about the marginal improvement over the current set up.

    I appreciate everyone's help in making my decision.

    Wow they also sell fart can's for the Prii :p

    Amazing the aftermarket parts available for this car over seas. Wonder how much of this suspension stuff will fit the PHV?

    yeah I looked at $$$ and while better shocks and springs would be good, not at what they are asking for it. Perhaps reconsider when Tokicos sold for GenIII

    Hey Deltron. Yeah, it's been a while. How's the coilover holding up? Would still love to see the pictures of your SSR rims. You got the Type Fs right? I'm debating on whether or not to purchase them (more like if I have that amount of cash to blow).

    Regarding the FSB, Tanabe listed the price as $215 on their website. Just not sure when they'll make it available for purchase.
