Just changed the suspension over to the TRD Sport Shocks, Lowering Springs & Sway Bar and the ride and stability has improved 150%. It is a blast to drive and no more bouncing around on the stock set of springs and shocks! :biggrin:
WOW, what an unbelievable improvement on every level! For now I am running the stock P185 60/15 Goodyear Eagle tires as they have a lot of meat left and I'm pretty happy with them but once they burn up I will be looking for any recommendations to mount up on the 15" by 6.5 MR121 Motegi's, Perrelli P-6's perhaps?

That's a pretty decent price for all the parts and labor! That car looks great!

Don't worry, those OEM tires won't last long with the new-found cornering prowess.

I am from Pittsburgh which is notorious for it's terrible potholes and roads. I was curious to know how well it does with potholes. Does it make the ride much more uncomfortable for long haul driving? I want to make sure it isn't in and out of the shop with alignment and/or suspension issues. Thanks.

P.S. ride looks great.

New Jersey definitely has some rough roads so Im not lowering. I may try the sway bar, I heard it helps alot. Can you use it on stock springs? Can I use trd shocks with my stock coils? Not looking for lower, just less roll!

Im also using a set of TRD springs and shocks, but strangely mine are all black in colour and the car is barely much lower than stock ride height.

There is also another TRD sportivo Springs which are white.

Not sure if they are the same set tho
