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.

ok I got megan coilovers, I got twos r us endlinks front and back.
I got ST sway bars with poly bushings front only rear regular bushings.
eibach rear camber kit.
falken aziens 235/45/17 on 17x8 +48 all around enkei rp01 not rpf1 older version from 90s.
that's suspension.

brakes I got oem rotors with porter fields rs-4 pads all around. Avalon/lexus es300 twin piston calipers. in the front. oem rear calipers.
getting stainless steel brake lines soon no body confirmed for me if the goodridge fits on non superstrut.

engine mods- injen short ram intake. (sounds good lol) and honestly it is more responsive but hp gain didn't notice any.
stock everything mostly but I just overhauled my motor with all new seals and belts and water pump from Toyota.

exterior-oem door visors and hatch visor. and the wheels.

my suspension is currently on softest setting and im planning on switching to swift springs for those megan coilovers for a better spring rate for the front and rear. most people do this mod not many people know about it. and also revalve all my coilvoers since megan doesn't 100% do it correctly.

aside from all that I am a Toyota tech I get 50% on oem parts for any Toyota lexus or scion. so if anyone needs something they can ask me I can try and help them.

if any other questions that might help go ahead and ask.
and reason I didn't post any pictures is because lately I don't have time but ive been taking pictures of my car id love to share all my knowledge I love celicas. =D
