My Suspension Sucks

I drive a 1991 firebird, 305 v8 and the suspension is stock. I feel every little bump on the highway/street and it sucks. I dont know if anyone else has a problem with there firebird scrapping the street on dips sometimes but i hate it. I 'm pretty sure if i do some work on the suspension my car will rise at least an inch or two.

I have new tires and wheel alignment on there but im going to get some new struts and shocks to replace the stock ones but do i need anything else?

I cant wait to do this. i want a nice stance for her.

Re: My Suspension Sucks

hi, do you have stock rims? if yes, then yes, I would replace the front and rear struts and shocks, but also remember, are the spring as old as the car?
Try to consider anti roll bars and sway bars also, that way you have a firm yet smooth ride. good luck.
