Increase Ride Comfort?

[imike929]

Hey guys, i have had my 13 SE for about 2 weeks now and I have noticed while driving on the freeway and higher speeds that you really bounce around and feel every little thing in the road. Any recommendations as to mods to improve this? FYI I'm not huge into cars/modding so obvious things to others may be new to me lol. As usual, Thanks!

You can always install 15" wheels and tires. It will make a dramatic difference in ride comfort without resorting to suspension tinkering.

you would have to be very careful with 15" wheels, the spare steely is even 16" as there is not much clearance.
the SE also has stiffer springs, i dont mind the ride in mine though, i also have 17" for summer.

Of course, there may be a little trial and error, but at least it has been verified that the factory 15" steelies fit over the SE's brakes, so it is possible.

Check your tire pressure. 33 psi may be most likely suggested for yout model. I have that suggestion and have set my psi accordingly. I get a little bounce at highway speeds, but i like to attribute that as friskiness.

You mean as in the wind blows the car around, the car doesn't track straight, etc? As far as feeling bumps and stuff, there really isn't anything you can do.

but for tracking, a sway bar is a great investment, makes the car feel much better, plus it isn't that expensive. http://shop.microimageonline.com/Whiteline-22mm-Adjustable-Rear-Swaybar-Yaris-xD-BTR86Z.htm
