New springs or shocks?

My 96 3.8L Camaro has a ton of miles on it, that being said the suspension sucks ass. When I go over a speedbump the car will practically bottom out and it feels bad. When I take a corner my whole car will sway to the opposite side that I'm turning.... Do I need new shocks, springs, or both?

ya i would do that, and take a look at the sway bar, it could be damaged. also take a look at you control arm bushing, and all of your bushings.

might as well do both, either one requires the removal of the other. worn sway bar bushings are prolly the culprit of your other problem.

As for springs if you're not going stock I hear nothing but good about Hotchkis.

Kevin,

Definately do the springs and shocks together. Also, let's not forget that everytime a news station says, there may be snow today, streets and san. dumps 2 inches of salt for every 1/4 inch of snow. Which in turn destroys the bushings in all your suspension pieces, especially the anti roll (sway) bar, very quicly.

Like Wrightz28 said, do them both. I had the same problem, every time a hit a big bump by accident or a speed bump, i would bottom out. Come to find out that my shocks were absolutely no good, i mean rust had definitely played it's part. Bushings all went to hell also. Pick up a poly bushing kit from jegs for about a 100 bucks. Can't beat that.
