well the springs should be made for the hybrid, otherwise the heavy battery pack will cause major sagging in the rear. you need lowering springs, upgrade shocks for lowered cars, and alignment kit at the least. eventually you will need better sway links and front control arm bushings. it will wear on the suspension more overall as well, so keep an eye out for unusual noises or sloppy steering that may indicate a loose or broken suspension part.

double your battery packs so you can have double the milegae before recharging and a lowered stance with less stability.
stop crapping everyday and you could lower even more one side of the car. some difficulties in clicking the belts might arise.
