Is that $1,095 for one shoe?

I hope they were at least on the same lot. Are you somewhat of a legend in those parts?

No they are 5 miles apart and not even the same owners.
The service manager at Subaru used to be the detailing shop manager at Toyota.
He recognized the last name and was all "here is a picture of your husbands car".

There is a small but very notable difference in how "peppy" it is at launch. They is also a slight decrease in mileage but not horrible and worth the trade off.
If it wasn't such a pain to do I would recommend it to any 13 to 116 owner that wants that little more off the line.

If I was to go back to a pre 17 car this is what I would do. Like I said don't expect some massive change. It is a nice improvement though.

This is on my list of "If I'm sticking with gen1, here's the stuff I'm definitely going to do over the winter".

But I've been saying that for 2 years now and haven't gotten to try out a gen 2 yet lol...

TIL Toyota uses different size bleeder valves between the rear and front brakes on a Prius c, and they didn't bother using valve caps.
