Aftermarket suspension options to improve ride quality (TRD ORP)

[4jogger]

The problem is most likely the shocks having poor valving, not the springs themselves. The thread I linked had an owner who mentioned installing only the Fox 2.0 shocks fixed the ride quality. If you do decide to get the Fox 2.0 shocks, please let us know if it fixes the ride.

That's my feelings as well. The car still has quite a bit of body roll which implies either soft springs or under damped low speed compression. I think shocks with softer high speed compression valving will make the car ride less rough.

I'm hoping Eibach comes out with their non hybrid kit soon. Similar in price to the Fox stuff but the fronts can be adjust on the vehicle with it on jacks, no need for a spring compressor.

I ran Fox 2.0 on my 2019 and it was so very much better than the stock suspension that felt incredibly sloppy.

I spoke with Eibach today, the non hybrid kit is in development now. I hope to see this make it to the market in the next couple months!

Glad that more options will be coming available!

I am still doing as much research as possible before making a purchase decision, and am leaning to the Limited with Front Active Variable Suspension.

Therefore a few more questions.

1) Can the Front AVS shocks on a Limited be replaced without the computer giving a bunch of error codes?

or

2) Would there be a noticeable benefit by replacing the rear shocks only (and keeping the AVS Front Shocks)?

AFAIK AVS is all 4 corners, not just front

Interesting! The Canada Toyota page states "Adaptive Variable Front Suspension". I just checked the US page, and it does not specify "FRONT". So either we have a different setup in Canada, or one of the webpages is incorrect. More research required, lol.

You know what, maybe there is no rear AVS. Looking at my front shocks, there is a wire that is attached to the top of them. Looking at my rear, there’s not. So unless it connects at a different location in the rear shocks, I’m not sure how the AVS setting would be communicated to them.

if that’s true, I wonder what variant of shock the limited has in the rear. Is it the same as the sr5, the sport, something different?

my rear shocks have a number on them of 48530-35320 manufactured by tokico Japan.

Thanks for checking NotApplicable!

This should make it easier to swap out rear shocks on the Limited.
