people with aftermarket shocks/struts...need info

Hi i was wondering if everybody elses cars have a rough ride like mine? i mean where i live i feel every frickin bump on the rode and everything. I was wondering if our cars our meant to be that way because I drove my sisters 92 prelude and my dads lowered 93 t-bird and it doesnt feel like that.

Are you shocks revalved for your springs or are they stock replacement? Alot of the times...when you use stock shocks with lowering springs you'll knock off half the life of your shocks...you'll lose all your dampening...

Well I have not upgraded shocks or springs as of yet but I will give you a little comaprison since I own three F-Bodies.

99 WS6 Trans Am (Very Rough Ride, Handling is great, best of three 60,000 miles on the clock. Stock 17" Rims and tires)

98 Z28 (Ride is acceptable not as stiff, handling not as good, 50,000 miles on the clock, 17" SS Rims and Tires)

95 Z28 (Best of the three as far as ride goes, but handling is the worse, over 100,000 miles on this one, 16" tires and rims)

Maybe this will help you some, not sure......
