Default ROUGH RIDEN SUCKER

ANYONE HAVE THERE SHOCKS REPLACED? SEEMS LIKE MY CAR FINDS ALL THE ROUGH ROADS HERE IN THE VALLEY! ARE THE PIEZO TIRES THE BEST FOR COMFORT? THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER SHOCK BUY IN TO A MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE RIDE! THANKS FOR THE INPUT....>

Wow...that made that difficult to read...

First off, how many miles do you have on your car? Unless you blew out a shock, i really don't see why you would change the shocks unless you were going to lower the car...

If you already lowered the car, and kept the stock shocks, then there could be one of your problems right there.

The tires won't be much of an issue if you kept the same profile. Unless you switched to a different type of compound (say all-season to summer or something different).

I use QA-1... 12 way adjustable shocks, they give me the flexibility to adjust my rear end to any changing conditions...they make a big difference. For the front you have to invest in a pair of adjustable struts they can also improve the ride quality..

I use the ford racing springs and shock kit and have no probems. Making a lot of trips to Houston, tx and the ride is comfortable.
