Stock OEM front struts, aftermarket rear shocks? - Toyota Yaris Forums

^ Now he tells us. LOL. So yes, you are lowered and bottoming out, with passengers and an audio system. Sounds about right. Stiffer rear shocks will help, but Tokico HPS blues may not be enough. HTS reds are adjustable, I'd have to check to see if I can get a pair only.

You can also get shock bump stops or spring spacers to prevent the bottoming out, BUT there is a sacrifice in ride quality when they hit the stops.
