Hello Guillome.
I was considering it because the 2014 model has stiffer front mountings than the 2012 version. Normally the pillowballs also allow camber adjustment on a mcpherson suspension. Alignment is spot on on mine, and I didn't lower the suspension. I was thinking of it because it removes quite a bit of the remaining (already little) 'flex' in the front. Toyota did the same on the rear and changed the shocks as well to make it more 'neutral' at the back. However according some of the test drivers it's not as playful (and dangerous) as the original was. Harder rubber mounts are for example part of the TRD accessories (for stock and 'entry' uprated suspensions, but high end racing shocks normally require pillowballs if I'm not mistaking? I don't want to end up with a car that's a pure track machine as I'm doing .... euhhhh 'fast road'.
