So my car rides like crap. This after test driving Dustins car. I order the urethane bushings for the car from poland. So ill see if it makes a difference.

I just installed new kyb in the front. and have TRD springs. but if i go over a pot hole at slow speed or a speed bump, it feels like and old chevy nova. Just crap!!!

I have st swaybars, and j-speed strutbar. but it rides like crap.... It did not use to ride like this. Oh and i have 16 inch rimes, and tires are not that low profile.

So i decided to go one step at a time, and see what helps here. Would rather not do coilovers. will start with the urethane bushings, if you have any ideas shime in. I will also upgrade the end links, but one step at time...

no im no drunk, just typing as i remember and too lazy to edit.

"Rides like crap" may be a matter of opinion or needs more clarification or sometimes drivers are so used to OEM ride quality that they base their standards of OEM which is usually not the case when you upgrade to aftermarket suspension. I've had KYB + TRD Spring Setup back in 2005, and they were really awesome, never felt like it was dropped. not sure what you are feeling.
