Guys, I just got myself a "as described on the topic above".First, I would like to apologize for only posting one shot of the car yet..I just got the car yesterday, so I haven't got the time to do a photoshoot.Anyway, I thought it would be nice to make a little introduction,You guys can call me "ToyodaV", I'm from Jakarta, Indonesia.Hope I'm not the only one here.Well, just for your info, there aren't many Voltz here in Jakarta, you can barely find it on the road. I will find it hard to actually get someone to brainstorm about the car. That's one of the main reason why I'm here.Mine is running 72,000 km(s), I can feel the suspension needs to be replaced as the ride felt bumpy. For your info (Voltz experts out there), the only parts that's been replaced in this car is the disk brakes. Any suggestion of suspension parts other than Toyota Original Parts?Please do name the type and brand, also how much it approximately cost.By the way, I'm open to modification as long as it's kept practical. Thanks guys, I will be back with some of the shots of my Voltz.Cheers,ToyodaV2004 Gunmetal Toyota Voltz 1.8 SProVision 6,000K HID KitsPhillips X-treme Power HB4 BulbsComing Projects:- Suspension (Shock absorbers & Springs)
Welcome to GenVibe! Are you planning on lowering your Voltz or keeping it at the stock height? That will determine which shocks and springs you will want to get.

welcome to the international family!!!! love those voltzs!!!!post pics when you can. and like bluecrush said, your springs/shocks options depend on whether you want to lower the car, or keep it stock.

Thanks for the quick response, guys. Well, I'm planning to have the car lowered, what are my options?Sorry, but I thought the height of the car is determined by the springs, not the shocks?Sorry for being such a newbs.Cheers
