Default 2016 is200t f-sport suspension question

Is there a way to adjust the rear shock travel on the is200t stock springs? My rear shocks seem very soft. I have a sub in the trunk but no more then 75lbs. Seems like the travel is too much on this car.

basically...no. what you're looking for might best be satisfied with coilovers.

you are thinking of springs. dampers don't affect your ride height.

found the problem...4700 miles on car and rear shocks are blown. Put car on lift and there was oil running out of both rear shocks. Car is at dealership getting fixed under warranty now. No idea how shocks go out that quick.

stock shocks of any car don't seem to last long but 4700 miles is really bad.

There were some issues on early 2014 models of shocks leaking. I'm surprised that they haven't completely fix the problem

Ok great! Just know that once you alter the car's suspension the warranty on suspension related issues are not covered anymore.
