Stiffer/harder rear suspension

[Edlupp]

Hi, i know there have been discussions on this topic but its all about racing suspension, where im looking for rear suspension components to harden or stiffen them as the factory Mirage rear suspension is too soft. I got 95000km on mine and warranty is almost over, i wonder if anybody knows of such parts and where to get them in Canada or even US but im not looking for the ones that lower my Mirage as i need to keep my ground clearance to drive it in winter. I appreciate for any input from u guys!

A few members have put Yaris rear springs in with good results and a few members have put VW Beetle rear springs in (they are much stiffer). At least one member has put Honda Fit rear springs in also. Yaris is probably the easiest with simply jacking the car up, place a jack stand or block under the car, remove the rear shock absorber lower bolt, let the spring drop out, put the new spring in place, put the shock absorber bolt back in, remove the jack stand, lower the vehicle. Done!

Thanks for ur input, its a good idea to use the Yaris springs, what year Yaris would fit?

I'll add the Air Lift suspension air bags. Easiest installation, maintains stock components, and adjustable.

In case anyone is interested, the Air Lift 60724 1000 Series Air Spring Kit is currently $79.99 on Amazon. When I first started looking into this kit, I recall it was over $100.
