The stock Yaris just isn't fun, I like a rough ride where you feel the road, but I hate being "jerked around." The stock yaris is driving me thru turns instead of me driving it if that makes sense.

regal,
I just read a post of yours saying that your Yaris is box-stock. To compare a Civic with Koni's to a stock Yaris is just plain silly. I also notice you are trying to hitch a ride in a suspension-modded Yar. Great idea, but Puh-LEEZ stop ranting about bad handling until you've had that ride.

Agreed, just trying to discern if I should spend the $'s on the suspension.

With the Civic the Koni suspension was a proven upgrade with actual slalom results etc. There just isn't any info on what you get for your dollars, the only tests I have seen are Yarii with full coil-overs.
