Trd Sportivo Vitz RS

Postby duddley » Wed Sep 04, 2013 8:05 pm

Have noticed the mrs Vitz rs has trd sportivo on the springs and front shocks (rear where replaced by dealer when we bought it) and it also has a trd strut brace. Was this a optional extra kit when the car was new and would it be worthwile replacing the kyb shocks in the rear with nee sportivo shocks?

It comes as a set "TRD Sportivo Suspension Full Set"

Which included lowering springs, front and rear shocks. They will be slightly stiffer than factory so likely handle better.

Does the dealer or you still have the factory shocks or are you intending to but them new? (Are the rear trd lowering springs still in the car?)

The mrs has had the car for about a year and I didn't realise it had trd shocks as I only looked at the kyb in the rear when we got it. Still has the trd springs and strut brace.
