Added a modest 40mm lift, upgraded to a better quality Bilstein struts when it was time. Added Falken Wildpeak AT tires.
I did Gabriel struts/shocks on both gen3 prii. Would recommend.
if you’re on a budget go with ST, BC or even just the tried and true bilstein struts with H&R springs
Bilstein struts, Lovells springs. Perfect combo.
Not long after I purchased it I put all new Bilstein PSS9 struts on and about a year after that I completely refreshed my front suspension (control arms, tie rods, end links, strut mounts, etc.).
I like the bilstein setup better.
I have an 84 gti running Neuspeed sport springs. I just swapped out my Bilsteen strut inserts for Bilsteen struts. It's a nice tight and somewhat low setup.
Be careful if you buy rebuilt Phaeton struts. I haven't found any that mention rebuilding the dampers (shocks). They check them and repaint them and put new air bags on them. You can buy new air bags and swap them yourself for less money.
I've tried loaded struts a few times on these trucks, they just can't stand up to use of such a heavy vehicle, the bushings fail nearly instantly.
I had the same problem with a set of Gabriel struts.
