I'm looking to do a full upgrade from the original suspension that is on my car. Does anyone have any opinions on what's worked well for them, and where the best place to buy it would be??

Also. would it be wise to do the ball joints and control arms too?

Thanks.

If you're nearing 100000 miles I'd say it wouldn't hurt to do the ball joints and tie rods...

There is a lot available in terms of suspension packages. What's your goal?

Coilovers, Universal Air Suspensions, new Springs, New Struts... pick your pleasure...

I'm running on Tannabe NF210's on Bilsteins, Daizen bushing upgrades, Tom's 6-links, front jdm strutbar... these upgrades eliminated the "float" and definitely improved cornering and reduced body roll without compromising ride quality. Carson Toyota offers lots of stuff for you to browse through. Your budget is your limit.

thanks for the site and all the info- it was alotta help.

my MAIN goal is to stop the vibration of the steering wheel when I'm going about 60-80mph.(i know a lot of people with this car have that problem.)

what I also want is a more stable ride going from 80-100mph, and to 'tighten up' the suspension all together, while still keeping a somewhat comfortable ride.

that TRD GS Sportivo looks pretty good, and is in the price range of what I'm willing to spend. the cost of labor might be a killer though. I wonder how hard it'd be to do on my own/
