I am trading my 2004 LC 120 grande to an entry level 5 door 4.0 petrol LC 150. I want a suspension upgrade that would improve the handling of the car when loaded on weekends (400 KG passenger and cargo) and driving on mountainous sinuous asphalt roads.
My main concern is to limit the leaning of the car on the curves and turns.
My other concern is to limit how much the car would settle under the weekend load.
After reading all possible documentation and seeing numerous Toyota videos the best system is KDSS combined with TEMS. But for various reasons I do not want to purchase the top of the line model and would prefer upgrading a TX L model (entry level model in my country).
The local ARB dealer mentioned that their suspension upgrade would give me 1” or 2” lift as well as limiting the leaning and the settling.
Is this possible?
Won’t a 1” lift increase the leaning on the curves, since the load will be 1” higher and lean more?
It might work if the new suspension is much stiffer than the regular Toyota one, but won’t this, make the car uncomfortable in the city with light loads?
Thanks
