Balancing ActA Sojourner's Thoughts

Today I received my Prius PLUS performance lowering springs by Toyota Racing Development (TRD), part number PTR07-47100. I am going to have them installed this weekend by Cabe Toyota of Long Beach.

I believe I've counted three. Anyways, here are some photos: No updates on the Prius so far, I've been extremely busy these [...]
