    Has anybody installed an air suspension on their PiP (or a normal gen III)? I would like a more aggressive stance and possibly a smoother ride, but I'm not sure if it is worth the premium. Also, if I ever follow through, I plan on purchasing an air suspension from Air Runner Toyota Air Suspension - Air Runner Systems

    P.S. Has anybody used the TEIN Street Basis / Street Flex / Street Advance coilovers for the Prius? I'd like to know if those are beneficial to the ride quality.

    There's a group buy for an air suspension system in the Gen3 Mods and Accessories forum. Look for Hawaiianbuilt's Gen3.. he has an air suspension setup installed.

    Here's his thread:

    As far as Tein coilovers, there's at least one PiP owner who installed the Street Advance kit and when I asked him, he said at the softest setting, the ride was comparable to stock.
