rofl... e-thug. read your posts, and then read mine. Who's the one calling names?
news flash - new, my car would only drop half an inch when someone sat in it, right before I changed, an inch and a half. read my last post about spring rate Quote:
Honestly dude, you got auto zone struts on your car and can't believe how amazing they are, please continue the suspension lesson. |

The strut alone does not change the ride height, only the spring does. Even if the strut could do that, struts made of different lengths are not available for the car; the springs control ride height.

Also...I'm not the one who even made a comment about struts lowering a vehicle in the first place. I was only responding to the Suspension God's comment to me. |

More name calling, no facts. I'll take that to mean you couldn't find any information refuting what I said, and now realize yaris struts don't change ride height, and spring rates on springs do change with wear.

There's an old saying that says arguing with people on the net is like wrestling a pig in the mud. At some point you realize the pig is enjoying it. So I'm done entertaining you. I do, however, apologize to the OP for my part in throwing this thread off-topic. I'll simply restate what I said earlier. Tires can make a big difference in ride quality. Also a nice compliant damper (I dare not say the name) along with your stock springs (which aren't worn out) can improve things a great deal. The right tires and dampers made a big improvement to my xA and xB. That's first-hand experience....for what it's worth. |

With concerns of a hydroplaning incident I've moved up to 185/65/15 from Firestone (meant for a Prius in wet weather) with no problems... w/ regular hard driving and no rubbing on bounces with max turn. I checked ;)
