    Not meaning to sound ignorant, but how about a link?

    I tried searching on toyotanation.com, found a link to streetrays.com, but no joy regarding Tein for Prius.

    it has it for an old prius... anyhow i emailed tein about it... I was wondering who would be interested in Tein suspension.. i'm sure if we get enough people to put something down they can develop a product. It would be great...


    anyone interested?

    As you mentioned, it seems to be for the 1st gen Prius. Don't know to what extent 1st gen and 2nd gen parts are interchangeable. From the main Tein website, it seems that Tein would compete with the TRD bits. (Which may explain why they have not offered a solution for the 2nd gen Prius.)

    is the TRD coilovers? Are they adjustable? Cause if not then it wouldn't really be competing but the market would be the same.. i guess...

    again.. anyone interested? usual price for these are around 1500.

    Adjustable height and dampers...
