View Full Version : In need of a good suspesion package but not lowering spings mike07031 02-24-2008, 12:36 PM I live in north jersey and the roads are awful with potholes and everything in between. The stock tc rides harsh What can I do to smooth things out. I'd rather have comfort than looked tricked out, even changing the low profile tires is an option as long as they don't look like balloons :P Ps I am not roskefellar. thanks Mike Ace83 02-24-2008, 01:43 PM the only suggestion I can give is a high profile tire, get 15s with lot of rubber, and maybe get the trd rear swaybar, it takes a little independence away from the L/R suspension but it will make the ride more stable and less body roll. If not satisfied still, get a lexus and it sure is better mike07031 02-24-2008, 02:29 PM What about springs or shocks or maybe something else. I would like a Lexus but that's not possible yet mike Smooth_J 02-24-2008, 04:59 PM I live in northern NJ as well and I have the same problem. I want to have a nice setup too, but I don't like the large, 4+ inches deep, pot holes. I may go with a TRD setup - struts, and rear sway. However I am unsure if I want to lower it yet. Mainly this package without the springs: http://www.trdsparks.com/displayparts.php?Mdl_dtl=574&Part_cat=11&parts_id=583 Ace83 02-24-2008, 05:16 PM What about springs or shocks or maybe something else.
