    If you use lowering springs without changing to a different strut, you'll ruin the OE struts. That's why Toyota JP sells an entire kit. It also makes sense to use stronger sway bars as well.

    Only to be replaced by another kid who thinks his noise should be your noise. Maybe CoastalTech can come up with something that links the throttle with headphones, with a "my prefered noise" generator in between. Then the driver can have the noise, and the rest of us can have quiet :)

    They sell a few Prius items at japanparts.com. One is lowering springs by Modellista (already mentioned earlier).

    Check out: http://japanparts.com/shop/shop.cgi?mode=i...hird=Stabilizer

    What is this? It is something that bolts to the floor panel to strengthen it tortionally or is it just a beefed up version of the Prius stab bar? I'm not familiar with the suspension set-up on this vehicle, so I do not know what the current stab bar looks like (it looks different for trucks).
