    Does anyone know where one can buy an in-stock TRD Sportivo Suspension Kit (kit includes upgraded shocks and lowering springs matched to the Prius) in the USA without having to deal with websites that state anywhere from a 4-5 week delivery or even an 8-10 week deliver from Japan directly? Anyone found a price better than $990 plus S&H? Thank you.

    Sigma and Carson seem to be the major ones. You probably tried http://www.sigmaautomotive.com already. Give a go for http://www.newtoyotaparts.com and see if they have any in stock. I remember a post a few months ago that someone managed to get one shipped out right away. If Sigma or Carson don't have any instock, I would suggest ordering the TRD kit from one of them, anyways, since your search might take you as long as it takes to ship them from Japan. If you're thinking of getting the Tom's pieces, order them now as well since they'll take as long to arrive.

    I could've/should've ordered them a lot earlier than I did, but I was slacking until the I installed the BT plate, and kicked me into gear. If you haven't got it already, get your hands on a BT plate, it should get to you a lot quicker! If you're getting the TRD kit, it'll make it even better. By itself, the plate should get your around corners quicker.

    Ah you must be the one who bought the TRD Sportivo Kit this past Saturday from Carson. I had a pending inquiry for that instock unit and did not pull the trigger in time. Now they are out and I have to wait 5-10 weeks for my special order. Darn.

    Nope...wasn't me. I've had mine for a couple of months. Hopefully the time goes quickly. At least you know you are getting a proven product from a quality vendor. Good luck...hope it gets here ahead of schedule.
