    I want to lower my C, after searching online only Tanabe and Tein produces after market lowered springs for C. Unfortunately where I live there were no Tanabe dealers. Personally I don't prefer Tein.

    One of the workshop fella here asked me to get Eibach pro kit instead. He told me Yaris is using the similar model? I would appreciate if someone can advice me on this.

    Thanks, Jason

    I would not recommend that. Yes the Prius C uses the suspension from the Yaris so they'll technically fit, however the Prius C is notably heavier in the back than the Yaris and lowering springs for the Yaris will result in a droopy butt. Can you import parts from a USA tuning shop?

    Thanks for the info Ryephile.

    Yes I can import tuning parts from USA, but here it comes at a hefty 40% custom tax on the value of the imported parts :( I'll wait for a few months to see if Eibach comes out with something...

    No problem, you're welcome. Bummer on the 40% tax, wow that's huge!

    Give Eibach a call/email and see if they have something in the pipeline.
