Hey guys,

I'm new and somewhat "old" here because I made this account when I was still in high school but I never had the chance to visit the site and help others out.

Anyhoo, I have concerns regarding the ride of my 2004 1.5g Vios. Is the rear suspension THAT stiff? I mean, when I drive on uneven pavement at about 40-60km/h, the front wheels follow the contour of the road but when the rear wheels get to the aforementioned area, they somehow "fly" midair then harshly drop on the ground - sending this disturbing clang and vibrations through the car. Considering the fact that my car is insanely lightweight for it's size, the front end is somehow softer due to the engine weight. I tried to put counterweights in the trunk, low and behold, same results. Even when my friends rode with me (4 fat asses + me), the rear set still "flies" over uneven roads. I previously owned a '99 Civic and the ride is smoother. (yun nga lang parang may nangangaroling pag sa lubak)

Is this an issue with other 2004 Vios owners or does my cherry baby have suspension problems? If so, what should I do?
