Default newbie question about my rs8.0 suspension

Hello All,

Just picked up a 2013 tcrs8.0, my question is my ride feels like the rear bottoms outs, I havent driven much, only has 149 miles on it, noticed it has the trd springs but didnt come with trd shocks, Do you guys think if I changed the rear to tokico it would help? Has anyone experienced this?


Thanks in Advance
Maxx

No, you should not be having any issues and it should ride like a brand new car. If not, take it in to the dealer. Dont be changing that stuff out already unless your trying to mod. Not to fix ride comfort.....

I have to agree with torquetc on this one. If the ride bottoms out now, you have problems. I have an RS 8.0 as well. At work, they installed new spikes that are too high. That is the only thing I have bottomed out on yet. Otherwise, it is a great ride with a nice, tight suspension. It totally hugs the curves. I picked mine up on 9/8 and have just clocked 1500 miles today.

Your rear shocks should be Tokico from factory, at least mine are.

No, they're black. Tokico doesn't only make blue products. Tokico blue's are different than what we have as factory shocks, but ours are still Tokico's.
