Tanabe Springs

This front end looks a lot like what SubCode is looking for!

 

I don't think lowering the Prius too much is good. I like that it's able to do things and drive over things. I wish the front overhang was a bit shorter. At stock height I'm scraping driveways! And I'm a very experienced low car driver.

I'd like it only very slightly lower if at all. If I went with springs, these from H&R seem pretty good: Amazon.com: H&R 28972-1 Sport Spring: Automotive

People seem to like the japanese brands though.

I wish they had 1"/.75" - Anyone know if these subtle springs exist?

 

how??? have the DF210's and never scraped. driven through normal speed bumps normally as well.

 

I have the H.Techs which are supposed to be a little lower in the front and have never scraped either.

 

At that height, your only options I've seen are:

Tanabe NF210 1.00 front / 1.10 rear

TRD 1.00 front / 1.00 rear

RSR Down Sus 1.00 front / 1.00 rear

Eibach Prokit 1.20 front / 0.80 rear

The remaining springs (Tanabe DF210, H&R, Tein HTech, and RSR Super Down) are all "much" lower
