    Not sure why I'm having such a hard time finding out the bore size for the Prius C... Please advise.

    Moreover, are any of you with aftermarket wheels using hubcentric spacers? I want a 5mm, maybe 10mm, hubcentric spacer and want to make sure that I order the correct size. I'm leaning toward the spacer route because I'd like the offset to be slightly more aggressive, but I would at least purchase hubcentric rings, for which I'd still need the bore size...

    You just installed the Flex Z! We're gonna be buddies. I'm waiting for mine to come in. Haha.

    Thank you for the bore size. My wheels are +38 offset, 15 x 6.5". Considering adding spacers to push wheels a little closer to fender.

    I wish! I don't think I'm going to be able to get them... The guy I ordered from was mistaken; they are back-ordered. He refunded me. I'm trying to get them from a seller on eBay. He won't respond to my "Best Offer". Another seller has them but is in Japan. I sent him a message because I don't want to get hit with Customs fees.

    I'm now thinking that I look on the Yaris forums to see what those guys are using and like. I want the Flex Z because of the feature where the ride height adjusts separate from ride quality. I do about 100 miles a day for my commute to work. I'm really looking for a nice ride. The Flex Z are one of the few Prius-specific coilovers that I've seen with this feature. I noticed that the part # on them is the same for the Yaris, so that's why I'm thinking I can branch out a bit in my search...

    For sure check on the internet, but measure too? I'm partial to dial caliper now, got tired of burning out batteries in cheap digital calipers. They're around $30~40 for a decent one:

    Ok, so to clarify, these pics are with aftermarket coil-overs on the car? I have RPF1's with RE71R's on my other car...good stuff. On the C, I will not be doing susp, just the TRD rear sway bar and a camber kit up front. Would you advise the +35 or +41 offset RPF1's? I've got 15x6.5" Konig Heliums right now with 195/55/15's. I don't want to go any shorter on the tire without a drop though because the wheel gap would start to look ridiculous. Can't get good ultra sticky rubber tho in 205/55/15 or 195/55/15 except for some pricey Hankook z221's and Toyo's, both of which are inferior to the RE71R in multiple ways.

    Anywya, thx for the pics of the car. =)

    Scratch the Teins. Can't get them. I ordered a nice set of Tanabes. Should be in within a month. Very excited.

    I want that TRD rear sway... That'll be after the coilovers.

    Which Tanabe's did you get? I was just looking at the NF210, the one's with the least amount of drop & 5% spring rate increase. I feel like if I did that, I wouldn't have to bother with the camber kit...not taht the camber kit is difficult or anything, it is just that when I use camber bolts, I prefer to set them to max negative setting to prevent slipping out of adjustment, and I fear that running -2 degrees up front may be more than I need.

    I do not know, still kicking everything around.

    I keep looking at the Tanabe springs. I really need to remind myself that my daughter will be 16 in less than a year, and I don't need her ripping the front bumper off backing up from a low parking curb. I think I just talked myself out of the NF210 springs. Which is all fine anyway. I have a steep driveway entrance and scrape on occassion even on stock ride height with OEM size tires.

    Ok, just feeling good that I made a decision one way or the other. Still, will let you all know how the TRD rear sway and camber bolts work out. Hoe to get them on later this week. I have 2 sets of the same Konig Helium wheels. 1 with the OEM tires on them, and another with some all season Hankooks with 195/55/15's which are a 1/2" smaller diameter at 23.5" vs. 24". I ran the 195's briefly a while back and the increased grip just made the car feel awkward. It had more grip but just felt funky. I really felt that the rear NEEDED that extra stiffness. So yeah, I'm pretty excited, but not looking forward to spending a few hours in the driveway putting the stuff on.

    Ordered the Tanabe Sustec Pro CR coilovers. I have Tanabe springs right now, the DF210, and my stock shocks are shot after about 50k miles.
