I had the rear shocks replaced yesterday on my 2008 Vios (Yaris Sedan) with Tokico brand. The old shocks were completely worn out, but the difference now is night and day. The car feels much better—it’s more stable, quieter over bumps, and the rear end is far less bouncy.
Owner reviews for shock absorbers
I run 33s with a 3 in lift. Biltein shocks.
I run 285’s with my 5100’s. No rub, just have your alignment tech do their thing.
I have been running koni yellows with oem springs. Great for daily
My 2008 RWD Petrol SR5 has 365XXX on it. All it's had replaced is the shockers.
Those appear to be Bilstein B6 or B8 shocks. They're Bilstein's sportier upgrade over the OEM replacement B4 shocks. The difference between the B6 and the B8 is that one of them is made for lowering springs and the other is designed for stock height. Because these are just struts and not coilovers, the ride height is not adjustable.
The shocks on mine went bad and these were the only choice from fcp at the time. They are good shocks, and should last much longer than oem. They shouldn’t mess with the factory dynamics of the car, if that is what you are worried about
I’ve got the Dobinsons remote res shocks in my Navara. The shocks are real nice. Plenty of adjustments available.
I just put Bilstein 5100’s front and rear on my ‘13 platinum. Just can’t use the sport/comfort modes.
I had ranchos and my truck pretty much bounced down the road. I switched to bilstein's and it drives and tows better
