    thanks but the wheels are looking rather large to me the more i look at it.


    Wheels have not been driven on yet. Just a test fit for now. Still need some fender work and what not to make them functional with the drop.


    tires are a tad bit stretch but hardly.

    thank you!

    It does poke but with the car being lower and some neg camber added it should sit quite nice.

    Got all colors of the rainbow already installed in every panel i can run the wires through. It looks like a unicorn flying through the mist of the clouds when i drive up the mountain. :p

    Some updates for now... Im waiting on my rear camber shims from realcamber.com to come in so i can install them and get the fenders shaved and roll with the wheels installed. Although, ive been having some second thoughts on these wheels and everytime i look at them, they seem to be getting bigger and bigger and making me want to sell them and get 16s instead...

    Any thoughts on 17s vs 16s?

    personally, i'm getting 16s. the 17s look a bit large and tough to fit.

    17s will hurt mpgs a lot more, tires are more expensive and the car is small so they may look too big if you drop it too much

    I like the 16" on mine but with the new kit I am getting I am going to change to 17" wheels.

    Thanks for the input guys. I think i will stick with the wheels for now and see how they look after proper fitment and alignment. If after all that i still dont like them, ill ditch them for 16s

    Havnt really done much to the car since the last time i posted but i did get my windows tinted 20% all around.

    These bad boys finally came in from Realcamber.com -3 rear camber shims

    Hopefully i can get some fender work done soon, go lower, and get an alignment.

    Been on a hiatus but im back. Everything pretty much said and done for as far as stance goes. It was a pain to get it to where its at now but it was definitely worth it. Enjoy and let me know what you guys think.

    Heres a shot of mine with my buddies prius c

    what camber shim application did you buy and how did it fit?

    i ran some -3's on a xb I had before and they worked pretty well.

    Thank you. It really makes a world of difference to the overall look of the car.


    Yaris camber shims from realcamber.com it was a perfect fit since our prius c and the yaris share the same suspension.


    Thanks. They did stick out some before some cambering and fender work.


    Thanks. Cant go wrong with gold on blue. Make a thread when you do. I wanna see!


    Thanks buddy. Ima just keep it plain and simple. Cant afford all the baller mods like you ;)

    Well, to be honest, i have yet to pay attention to how it has affected my gas mileage, lol. So far, nothing drastic enough for me to worry about and i just think of it as even if i did lose mpgs, im still doing better than majority of the cars on the road ;P

    Can you take a front or rear picture? I'd love to see the slant of the wheels.

    Dude, what's the story behind the decision to go back to stock? Came out nice, although I'm sure you sacraficed quite a bit in the ride quality and limited your ability to make it into a fair amount of parking lots at the height your pics depict. If you have ~1.5 finger gap you should have form+function.

    I saw a honda civic last night that was slammed to about where you are right now and while it looks sweet static, when rolling that muther bounced like a joke (and that was only going 15mph on a residential street). I have no idea what that guy did, but he definately had the wrong suspension setup for any type of functional driving.
