Highlander Suspension

I have a 2007 V6 4WD highlander with third row seating. I find that the vehicle rides a bit soft and was wondering if I can stiffen the suspension some. I know there is a sport model, but when you go to the toyota OEM parts websites, they don't list suspension components by sport or non-sport versions, but rather by with or without touring edition. And, I can find no literature for a touring edition package for a 2007 highlander.

Touring edition on other Toyota models describes a more European ride, which is what I want. Anyone familiar with this, or have any suggestions for stiffening up my ride?

All you need are some new shocks and struts. I would go with some that are designed for off-roading because they are made to be stiffer. Good brands include: Bilstein, Pro Comp, Old Man Emu, Rancho, etc.

Good luck and welcome to YotaTech!

The highlander is based on the Camary platform so it is not a true SUV inthe off-road sense. Therefore the sites that you mention for off-road struts don't seem to list anything for the Highlander.

Oh man I didn't even think about that, sorry...I am used to answering questions about Tacomas and 4Runners so I am not very familiar with Highlanders...
