For safety and stability, air springs are the perfect partner for your rear suspension when you are hauling heavy loads. Springs fit inside existing coil springs to help level your Toyota Prius, improve braking and handling, and reduce tire wear.
Features:
Specs:
Firestone Coil-Rite springs fit inside your existing rear coil springs to maximize the effectiveness of your suspension system. The added cushion provided by the air springs allows your vehicle to better handle a heavy load or trailer. Hauling heavy loads or towing a heavy trailer can make the rear of your vehicle sag and the front end rise. This puts more strain on your rear axle and reduces contact between your front tires and the road, causing problems with braking, steering control and traction. By adding air springs to your rear suspension, you can help to level your vehicle for more effective braking and handling under heavy loading or when you encounter adverse road conditions. The air springs also help to level your headlight beams and reduce wear on your tires.
Adjustable Air Pressure
The air pressure in your Coil-Rite springs can be adjusted manually, side to side, to compensate for off-center loads. A centered load improves the stability of your vehicle by reducing body roll. The air springs will also help to absorb road shock and soften contact between your axle and frame. This prevents bottoming out, thus improving ride comfort. Route the air line tubing for the springs to your vehicle's bumper to provide easy access to the manual inflation valves.
Air Spring Construction
Coil-Rite springs are constructed of durable, elastic polyurethane to ensure years of service. Single replacement springs (sold separately) are available for maintenance to an existing Coil-Rite kit.
Air Spring Installation
The Coil-Rite springs install inside your existing coil springs. The custom-fit springs attach to your vehicle's spring seats.

Springs fit inside existing coil springs to help level your vehicle, improve braking and handling, and reduce tire wear.Ordered From QC,Canada. Delivery took 13 days. Installed on my driveway in my Toyota Prius 2012. It's a 2-person job, took 1.5 hr total. Not hard to do
Good product and easy to install if you are a little handy with tools.
Quick, prompt service.
These work well. Have used them on numerous vehicles. Not always easy to get in place.
Order these for a 2013 Toyota Prius C. Website here didn't list this part worked for my vehicle. I cross referenced through other websites to find which model was going to work for my Prius C and came across the Toyota Yaris has the same size rear spring as my Prius C, so I put two and two together and placed the order. Product arrived and installation was a breeze ( that's if you knew before hand what is expected) I researched by viewing video after video of different ways to install these bags. As long you can raise the car high enough off the ground and secure vehicle with jack stands. You won't have any trouble sliding these air bags between the springs. I've read reviews where they stated they had a tough time pushing bags between springs. The only thing I can think of is they did not raise vehicle high to allow the rear suspension to extend or they removed the tires during installation. My advice-keep the wheels on, the added weight of the wheels help extend the springs to more to give that extra gap to slide air bag in between spring.
So if you own a 2013 Toyota Prius C, these air bags will work for you. Now I can transport two adults in the rear seats and not have to worry about tires hitting the rear fenders when driving over bumpy roads

Like all my etrailer purchases
Great value great provider with fast economical shipping.
Bag system was great upgrade to my Prius V which great performance and cargo area but Not a suspension for weight on a hitch receiver nor heavier cargo behind rear wheels. Perfect solution! Takes some skill to install but not inordinate. Thanx
Been great on my 2010 Toyota Prius. Have had them now for about 1 year. I haul many things in the back of this car and these air bags are up to the task. No more low squatting car!
installation instructions could be better
When you deflate to work into spring, once you get one end in you should release the deflater stopper, makes it easier to work into place.
Also, if you work it in from the top, once you get it mostly in, rotate it around like you are screwing it in place, this is my 3rd set to install, struggled on the 1st set, easy to do now.
Just a few suggestions
Installation of the first air bag took me about 25 minutes, and the second one about 5 minutes. I heated the second air bag with a heat lamp to make it more flexible. I think my 2010 Prius drives better with them installed.
I was amazed seller shipped same day--as i ordered in evening! Product seems to be complete and well made, installing now.
Love that I can load up the Prius and I get no sag
Installation was not that hard and it makes a big diffenence in the ride of my vehicle. I have a 10 year old car and the springs were not performing well even though I changed the shocks. These bags are the greatest, especially for the cost.
Another great transaction you guys rock
Review from a similar Coil-Rite in Vehicle Suspension
Installed on my 2020 Ram 1500 4x4 ecodiesel. Took about 1 hour. Jacked up rear of vehicle to let coil spread out a little. Bags went in easy. Air lines were simple to run. Bought the union T-valve so I could air the bags up at same time and to make sure equal PSI goes to each bag.

These work great for the VW Atlas!! They reduce the rear end sag when pulling a travel trailer or putting the roof tent on and loading all the gear for some overland trail riding and camping!! They are a must for any adventurous Atlas Owner!
Review from a similar Coil-Rite in Vehicle Suspension
Installed on my '08 Acura MDX, very tight fit, it would work perfectly if air didn't leak out of the connection at the bottom of the bag.
It was a very lengthy install process for me, about 6hrs due to a stuck rear strut bolt that required drilling out. Also, needed an additional person to re-install the coil while holding down the lower control arm and squeezing the coil back into position.
The air leak is easily identified where the air line connects into the bottom of the airbag. I've re-cut the airline multiple times to ensure a perfectly flat end of the tube, and re-connected it. Even had a mechanic check the system, but there's still a slow leak at the connection into the bag.
These airbags seem very sturdy, but this is starting to make me second guess the quality, it seems like that connection is a clear weak point/design flaw.

No issue at all with these. Keep them with at least 10-15psi at all times and lift it up to 30psi only when fully loaded or hauling. Initially, the blue fill tube seemed too long but worked out great to get it laced underneath the exhaust heat shield. Some have put the fill valves on the inside. However, I found it easier to use a standard bike pump on the exterior. And made it symetrical :)
I would had have recommended it to several others who have simular needs.
Review from a similar Coil-Rite in Vehicle Suspension
I can only give this 3 stars because one of the bags only holds air for about 1-2 days. The other bag stays filled for months. When they are both filled it gives my Pathfinder about 1" of extra lift while towing our travel trailer. So, the trip to the campground is fine but then I have to find an air pump for the trip home or tow with it lower. If they would both stay filled I would give them a 5 star rating. I contacted etrailer support and was told that I had to contact Firestone for warranty support. I have emailed (can't find a phone number on their web site) them twice with no reply.

They functioned exactly as advertised. Very strong and durable. So strong are they that they didn’t even burst or puncture in a roll over crash. One of the spring that contained a spring assist bag was knocked out of the truck and it still did not rupture.
In the pictures below you can see the spring in the bed of the truck.
Highly recommend this product.
Review from a similar Coil-Rite in Vehicle Suspension
They work great. First I added a levelling kit then the Firestone ride rite for when I tow my boat. Really notice the difference when towing.
With fully loaded tongue weight, rear suspension dropped .75 inches, added 10psi to the bags and brought it back up .5 inches.
Chris K - 11/12/2021Review from a similar Coil-Rite in Vehicle Suspension
Installed on a 2016 4Runner in conjunction with a 1-1/2" Daystar coil spring spacer. Since the coil spacer is hollow, I left one segment of the factory bump stop in place to compensate for and match the height of the spacer. I also added a Firestone T-fitting on the airline for a single inflation point and located the inflation valve next to my trailer plug wiring. Quite a pain to wrestle the coil back in place with the added height of the spacer, but that is no fault of the airbags; pry bar proved critical to wedge the coil back in place since I did not try the bottle jack between the frame and axle trick. After nearly a year, no leaks, bags hold air well. I put 25 psi in them for towing our travel trailer, or keep them at 10 psi for normal running around. I have also found them useful to prevent or at least reduce bottoming out the soft rear suspension that happens when off road driving with even just a couple hundred pounds in the back. Even at 25 psi they ride great and you wouldn't know they are back there at 10 psi. Highly recommend for the low cost and added versatility!
