i have a 88gt running 255/50 tires all around and everytime i hit a rock i bounce all over the place..i dont mind it that much ...my friends joke around and say that i should donate it to a hospital to help get rid of kidney stones...anyway i was wondering what i should do to make the ride more comfortable

replace your struts and shocks. maybe springs sounds like theyre worn out. and your 255's on the front should be rubbing since 91-93 had larger front fender openings. anything larger then a 225 on the front rubs. my 235 rub when i turn on the openings

have you modded it yet?? if it has aftermarket springs they could just be really stiff. if not would be warn out shocks. i say shocks cause it sounds like the springs are good because the car is bouncing so they are still stiff. the shocks are what slow the expanding of thesuspension and make it smooth. </P>

Get a Caddy if you want a good ride.<IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0"></P>

low doesn't mean good.

too many punks think that slamming their cars will result in better handling. Wrong.
factory suspension geometry doesn't work well when you move it out of spec.

If the ride is too harsh, you've either got too much spring or way too much shock. Or too much air in your tires. Before buying anything, pull the shocks/struts out and check them for normal operation. If they're frozen or otherwise inop, replace them.

I was never looking to get lower.. its just any set of racing springs i look at are dropping the car as well..</P>

most aftermarket springs are a bit lower, ~1" is usually fine, some cars you can dump 3-4" (first gen neon?) with no problems, but others just go to hell when you start slamming them.
