    If I am posting in the wrong area, please let me know..

    Hello!! First, new to the Prius game. I recently picked up a 2014 Prius two, super white. Since my 5th Gen explorer gets terrible gas mileage for a 55 mile, 1 way commute... I am sipping gas and I love it..

    Background.. I purchased some KYB shocks/struts and H&R lowering springs and some spacers for the rear. Only 10mm - I am keeping the OEM wheels for a while.. Probably some of the coolest OEM wheels Ive seen.. IDK why they put those crappy hubcaps on.

    So, The question - Every shop Ive called in San Jose CA. tells me that they have never done this to a Prius before.. I had another shop tell me it would cost me 620 plus another 120 to alignment..... Really? A charge for the alignment, shouldn't it be included? I am wondering if there is anyone on here that live in the area and can point me to a shop that can install these parts for me..

    Any hints or ideas would also be super helpful!

    Thanks all!

    @James Powers have you tried Luscious Garage in San Francisco or 2M Automotive in Burlingame.

    I've gotten work done at both shops.

    I have not! I've only called around Morgan Hill and San Jose. Was hoping for something close but I can definitely do SF. Thank you!

    Thank you Prodigyplace! I did run into these threads and have seen some really good info in them. I saw a little about the Hybrid Pit but didn't look into it. I really appreciate the reply!

    I honestly never realized how big this community is.. Reminds me of when I drive the Jeep around.
