My car's shocks are dead, I know this all too well because I can drive over most anything like a speed bump (or the stops like are shown above) and all it does is go "bounce bounce" and I am over.

It bottoms out quite often too, resulting in a BOOM sound through the car when the upper control arm comes down and hits its stop....or vice versa, when the suspension goes up....a tad scary sometimes!

Especially when its....BOOM...CHINKLE (all the coins in my change bin jumping up then landing again)

I miiight install all new shocks this summer, as well as new rear springs and maybe some bushings. What I do will depend on my greenback flow.....if I work a lot I will be able to do lots of SD improvements.

First of first however is getting the body fixed up on my right rear door and the fender behind it, where it was hit 2 years ago by a drunkard.

My car has so much $$ into it I will be able to compete with Hatterasguy sometime in the future...

I have my tire pressure up around 38psi rear and 36psi front....I found this makes bumps even harder, but results in better handling and a smoother feeling on the freeway.....
