I opted for the often played out but great light wheel, Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 +38 in SBC finish. I paired this with Continental Extreme Contact DW 245/35 all around, which surprisingly enough was quieter than the stock Prius tires despite the widened footprint and improved grip especially in the wet. I lowered the car 2 inches all round with stance coilovers. I initially opted for Eibach sportlines but went with stance because of reviews here and on the nissan forums. I was awaiting KW V1 or RCE Tarmac as I had great experience with them in the past. Honestly, the ride is pretty good, slightly stiffer than stock but not any worse than springs. On the pothole ridden streets of NY, you will feel the potholes/bumps but I have neither bottomed out or rubbed with this setup. As expected, it's lost it's playfullness in the corners but feels more planted but still need to track it with better settings. Currently, I have -1 and -3 camber in the front and rear respectively. Slight poke in front and tucked in the back. I will most probably go with whiteline rear camber bushings as i want the camber to be around -2 to -2.5 all around in the future. Just want to put a shout out to Jeremy of FT86speedfactory for great prices and customer support and to RCT performance in NY for the install and alignment.
