I really can't decide. Please help me! B&G - 1"F/1"R - I've talked to B&G and these were originally made for the Touring overseas - additionally, they tested a local Touring and say the fitment is perfect. However, I really don't like how the front of the Prius sticks up, and these springs don't correct that issue. In some of the pictures you can see the front wheel well looks a lot larger than the back. H&R - 1.4"F/0.7"R - I think the lower front gives a more balanced look. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to speak to H&R to learn if this product was made for the Touring or was ever tested. Fingas installed H&R springs on his Touring and it seemed to work, which it's in the discussion. B&G: See how the front is a little higher when the its lowered 1" all around. Here is a picture from B&G, it looks like their front tire is flat which makes me REALLY suspicious. (Did they lower the tire pressure to make the front appear lower?...HMMM) Here you can really see how much larger the front wheel looks. This just looks bad. The wheels are too big making it hard to tell that it's been lowered...

If you have either of these springs, I'd love to hear what you think! Thanks!
Whats wrong with your 'Bachs Supreme? By the way, can someone help me figure out this guy's picture too: http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-ii-prius-modifications/55785-my-new-daily-driver.html He said he owns a Touring and installed the H&R springs, but from his picture it does not look like a Touring. The rear spoiler looks too small, yes? Thanks.
Hey guys, I really could use your help deciding which springs to go with. H&R seems to have good quality but their springs look a little too stiff. I want the springs to settle and drop lower than 1.4"F/.07"R. What are the possible problems if the spring rate is 25% stiffer than stock as most H&Rs are I believe? The B&Gs look good but I still don't like how the front and rear are even. I heard however B&Gs settle more.
