2003+ stock suspension...opinions...

Granted I have 195/60/15 tires on 15x7.0 rims, but I really think the stock suspension on my 03 is solid and pretty sporty. Just curious what you all think. I think about lowering it, but then I think I like the suspension as is.

IMO...

It sucks a monkey dick because it has a solid rear axle.

BUT yes, it is kinda sporty feeling just driving around (my brother has a 2003 CE)

The stock suspensions just adequate but once i lowered it with the hotckis drop added a front strut bar i'll never go back

Have you ever seen a 03+ with a car full of people? It looks like you dropped it 4 inches. Thats exactly why I can never travel with more than one passenger or I'll be scrapin everthing and that was on the S. You gotta replace the whole Sus Kit.

driven other cars with in the same class with stock suspension... and my corolla annoys me the most.

I have no idea why Toyota is putting solid rears in the new models. I thought that was ancient and for those old domestic trucks. Then again, Toyota is cheap and its all about costs. *sigh*

wait, what? they went back to a solid rear?

WTF is Toyota thinking???!?

The yaris is solid rear too. wtf is toyota thinking...

If you look at your front suspension, there is no bar or axle connecting the 2 wheels. For the newer Corollas, the back is connected hence the solid rear axle. It's old technology which is was really common for old domestic cars and most trucks. I thought the solid rear axle would phase out but apparently Toyota went cheap. My car has a fully independent suspension and that helps with handling by allowing the shock or strut to move up and down freely without any influence from a axle.

wats a solid rear?
