Ex-factory, the Toybaru is a 85% finished item, it is up to the owner to complete the build to suit his peference.
I, too, think the ride quality is un-acceptable. I installed taller springs (+15mm), ultra-light wheels (5.5 kg each), softer front anti-roll bars, two-piece front brake rotors (-4lb each), and light weight rear upper control arms (-5lb each). After reducing the total unsprung weight by over 55lb, increasing maximum wheel travel by 15mm, and softer anti-roll bars, I am happy to report that the ride quality has been upgraded from 'choppy' to 'firm".
Unlike some other marques, eg Porsche, the Toybaru is deliberately set up to accept all kinds of mod readily, easily, and cheaply. There are literally thousands of mod's available to suit anyone's preference. Not taking advantage of this is missing out half the enjoyment of owning a Toybaru.
What a pity.

Stop being a ****. Not everybody wants to blow money to mod their car let alone actually install everything themselves, and you can't exactly fix low seat height without looking like the car 86MLR posted.
Also, 85% finished sounds like a good reason to stay away from the twins. Plenty of people want their car 100% finished, i.e. suitable for their needs right out of the box. Good for you if you want to mod your car, but don't be condescending towards others who want a complete package when purchasing a car.
