2soops Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Hi everybody, My car is driving me nuts to the point im not enjoying driving it much anymore. The problem is the suspension is way too hard and crashes over the bumps nearly loosening my fillings. I know the car is running 18" wheels with 35 tyres but it has standard Toyota Bilstein suspension and was hard before i changed the wheels. Now its impossible to live with. Is there anything i can do to soften it up without compromising handling or changing the wheels. Are there any good aftermarket set ups out there:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Are you sure they are std springs and dampers? sounds like its over damped to me, other than that it they could be running on the bump stops, although unlikely unless there is a real problem.

2soops Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 Its definately std, not on bump stops either. Is it possible for shocks to sieze up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprab1 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Its definately std, not on bump stops either. Is it possible for shocks to sieze up? I would think this is possible. Stock shocks & springs are rather comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Are you sure its on stock Bilsteins?? 35 section tyres wont help matters but it shouldnt be that hard. If you want someone to have a look for you Im back down your way on Monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Dampers could be the issue if your sure you have stock springs KW'3s for £1200, these will lower your car though or get new o/e dampers from Toyota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
