TDR struts/shocks with stock springs:worth doing? - Toyota Yaris Forums

auxmike · 04-05-2009, 04:21 PM

I'd like a firmer suspensoin, but don't want to drop the car any. Reason is potholes, curbs and the car turns REAL tight in parking lots!
ANYWAYS, IS THIS COMBO WORTH DOING?

It would certainly tighten things up. The TRD dampers are quite a bit more robust than the OEM units. Throw in the anti-sway bar and you'd have a formidable package without loss of clearance.
Choosing the Tokico Blues and the TRD bar may have the same positive effect for less coin.

I already have the TRD rear sway bar, it DOES work!
Thanks for the great response. I think once the wimpy stock shocks/struts go I'll buy blue TRDs.
