I also noticed small bumps in the road feel like hell on earth ... which normally would just drive over with a slight "Swoosh" when the car was new

I like that new car feeling, and since it's a DD and i don't do any track.. I am considering just buying a new set of stock coilovers from Toyota dealership.

I looked at some premium aftermarket offerings like KW, Ohlin, etc. But i don't think they're made to last 200k like the stock ones have served me gracefull so far?

Thoughts? Also, while im replacing the coilovers, what else should i refresh?

This is IN ADDITION to the appointment I have in Feb for the spring valve recall.

Ah, the joy of owning a 13' FRS

Thanks all!! Sorry for the newb questions


Edit: just to confirm. I don't want to lower my car at all. Even If the right decision is to go with ohlin or KW.. I will prefer to keep as stock as possible and built for comfort.

Here she is in all her glory
I have the stock '17 suspension as I installed coilovers I think less than 6 months after owning the car, and I am in Toronto so pm me if you like
