This has been posted a couple of times - they STILL don't have a car to test on? FAIL

Really?> I would have been on it! Maybe that's why they tried TN, lol.

AS for performance on a Prius.... Some folks (like Garm) would prefer stiffer components instead of the usual Toyota slushy suspension. There is a reason why they have a "Touring" trim.

lol, last i checked everything in the 5dr is the same as the 3dr, except the number of doors....

but could mean someone will get some cheap/free suspension parts...

5dr are pretty hard to come by. I had to go to 4 different dealers just to get a glimpse of one. I think I'ma stay with my 3dr, easier to do the body mods I want.
