This is talked about in other threads - cars that are dropped a decent amount on springs and retain factory struts/shocks tend to gain a slight "bumpy or hopping" over dips and bumps in the road. It will get worse as the struts wear down over time.

right now (and someone correct me if I'm wrong) I believe TRD is the only company that has an aftermarket shock/strut. So you can look up some reviews and get those, or you can wait for another company to come out with something new.

got another pic today (had to brighten it up to see the wheels better).. same, someone's sitting in the back, no one in the front. does it look normal to you in this pic? the drop i mean.. with passenger weight in the back only



could it be the 175 tire width?
