I had the rear shocks replaced yesterday on my 2008 Vios (Yaris Sedan) with Tokico brand. The old shocks were completely worn out, but the difference now is night and day. The car feels much better—it’s more stable, quieter over bumps, and the rear end is far less bouncy.
I personally don't use 0W-20, and instead I use Liquimoly Liechtlauf 5W-30 oil, and I change it every 5,000 miles.
I use - "5W30 Special Tec B FE Engine Oil (5 Liters)MOL-LM20444" with "BMW Engine Oil Filter KitMAN-HU6022Z" for my car and it works better than it did with the toyota special 0w20.
After some googling is seems the Denso branded blades are identical to the originals and DO have the replaceable blades.
KYB is the OE for the base level 4Runner so I would say they’re probably a good option. I’ve never heard anybody say anything good about Monroe in recent years or their subsidiary, Rancho.
My 2008 RWD Petrol SR5 has 365XXX on it. All it's had replaced is the shockers.
Something like the Michelin Defender is a safe bet and I've run those on Rav4's before.
I then replaced the front with some Bilsteins (I forget the model) along with other suspension components (OEM) a few months later. These pretty much feel the same as stock to me.
The R888Rs are a terrible autocross tire, slower than the Super 200s and actually illegal for most street classes. If you are running in a class that allows R-comps, Hoosier A7s will be legal and are in another universe than the R888Rs in terms of grip.
it has cracked headers causing a mild exhaust leak, leaking valvecover gaskets which make a mess of the engine bay. I just ignore both of those.
