    Default ST215 Caldina suspension question

    Hi Everyone.

    Looking at down grading the suspension in my Caldina. It currently has TRD struts and I am after something that's pretty much standard because I cant drive it on a dirt road without it feeling like the front end is about to fall out due to the stiffness.

    What other cars share the same suspension? Camrys or Celicas??

    Any help would be muchly appreciated.

    Thanks

    suspension isn't shared with any other cars sadly. Prehaps try and find some stock struts to swap over?

    BC coilovers from JustJap have 6kg front and 4kg rear rates..

    the Tein basic wagon have softer springs than that.. from memory something like 4kg front, 3kg rear? can still feel a bit hard on shitty roads
    tyre choice also has a big effect

    (ps, wouldn7t really recommend the Teins.. I've had both rear shocks blow out, and one bent shaft! )
