Increased ground clearance between 2008 and 2010 Sedan

[unclenefeesa]

Hi all,

I know I have not posted much here, but I wish I had more to share with the rest of the forum. You guys are great and always enjoy reading about all the mods even though I can't get any of them where I live.

Anyway, does anyone know of an increase in ground clearance from 2008 to 2010 and later models of the stock sedan?

I have a 2008 Sedan (185/60/R15) myself and 2 other 2010 Sedan (175/60/R14) one for a member in the family and the other for a neighbor. I always found that the tire clearance on the 2010 is more than what I have. I though it is due to the smaller tire, which led to the difference in the ground clearance.

However, I have had the chance to compare same model sedan (2008) to mine but with the smaller tire size and there is minimal difference.
I also got the chance to compare different tire size on the 2010 models also where I also found minimal difference.

The bottom line I found about 1/2 an inch (0.5 inch) in ground clearance between 2008 and 2010 models.

Can anyone confirm?
Is it possible that Toyota started putting higher spring/shock absorbers starting with 2010 models?

I always thought the only difference is the front grill !
