    Howdy, we have a 2005 that is getting a bit saggy in the suspenders. Instead of just bolting on new OEM stuff I was looking to get a little lift away from our potholed streets, with a little bit different bolt-on/springs/etc.. In which section would I go to look for example works?

    Check out the "Modifications" section here: Gen II Prius Modifications | PriusChat

    Lots of examples of lowering, only a couple examples of lifting (see the Air Ride thread for one).

    Do keep in mind that simple bolt-on mods may affect your Prius's alignment and handling for the worse. Before getting a kit, you might look at the ball joints and tie-rod ends to ensure you're not operating them in an unsafe range of motion. Ditto for the struts.
