Do you think this is sagging?

[spmarfatia]

Hi,

I see a lot of suspension upgrade threads and can't figure out, for a while now, if my car is sagging?

So, I thought I ask everyone's opinion, and if it is found sagging, then I will get the spring replaced.

I have 4600 all around now.

The car is parked with a slightly down slope towards front. I usually see that even with a minor load in the trunk and it looks more visibly sagging. Same as if two people are sitting in the back seat.

And, yes, that is a parking ticket on the windshield. See that sing says no standing, and my car is off by may be a little bit, although not seen in the picture there is plenty space in the other direction, and that is enough to get a ticket in New York City. The city needs money, I guess!

Thanks,
Sam

Yes I'd say there is sag, especially if you say when you add weight in the rear that it gets noticeably worse. Avoid the Moog springs, as tempting as they may be, do it right and get OEM Toyota or maybe some OME if that's your scene. I cheaped out and now am regretting it.

Doesn't look horrible to me...but there is some if you really want to get into the fine details.

If your not sure and you have to ask then I would not worry about it, people mainly upgrade because they dont like the look of their stance.

To me just barely sagging but some people like the back higher other like it lower.

If your satisfied with it then save your money.

A quick glance says Yes...it is sagging. It may be the angle of the pic, so several pics with different angles on a level surface (a yardstick would help for reference).

And please pay that ticket...4Runners should not be booted or towed by city authorities.

LOL Cencyc.

The ticket is paid already. And lesson learned!

Also,

The car is mostly highway and road. Not much off road and rarely loaded in the trunk, so would like to keep good road manners. Which springs best to go with 4600 and keeping good road manners, 99tall or 906? I don't mind 1-2 inches of lift in the rear. Not planning to change anything on the front.

Somebody I met in the town said 4600 with 906 is too hard of a ride in the back seat etc. I don't mind a little stiff ride, but the car should not launch in the air in the NYC area pot holes because the suspension too hard or loose track in a series of pot holes during a sharp turn etc.

get the 99 talls for the back, you'll be happy.
