Technical Question for the Suspension Gurus - Toyota Yaris Forums

dallas · 06-22-2007, 12:31 AM

There are only two ways: lowering reduces travel, if the springs are not firm enough and bottom out it will accelerate wear, and also when a firmer spring compresses it kicks back harder and the strut must control this rebound leading to accelerated wear. It's such a small increase in wear I would not worry about it. Id be more concerned with making sure the spring rate is not to firm for the strut to control the rebound, you don't want the pogo stick effect.
