TRD Sport Shocks, Lowering Springs & Sway Bar
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!
 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?

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

potholes?
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. Quote:

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!
