My car is lowered on H&R SS springs(1.5" rear, about 2.2" front no ISOs). No other suspension mods. Car has 120,xxx miles on it. Rear shocks were replaced with cheap shocks by last owner, unknown mileage on shocks.
The issue I am having is that my car rides ridiculously rough, and it has been degrading of late. The front of the car feels solid. But as soon as I go over the SMALLEST bump or crack in the concrete the back end sounds like bottoming out, but I don't think it has THAT much travel when going over relatively small bumps. Very loud clunk, gives you that cringe you get when you miss 3rd and mash the gas.
Overall, the ride (at least in the rear) is starting to finally break down my "I'm too badass for comfort" barrier.
SO:
I'm looking for some suggestions/help on what could be making the noise/what I need to replace to make the rear of the car go over bumps and not sound like its going to blow up. This car is a street car, it sees no strip usage. I like to drive aggressively once in a while through twisties, and straight line acceleration.
I need some guidance on what shocks/struts/bushings to buy for a car lowered as mine is, and I'm looking to spend only what I need to, to get this clunking resolved. So, as little as possible without compromising too much on quality. What parts do I need? And where should I get them? :tomato
Thanks!
