rough riding
Ever since I got this car, it's always drove really rough. Feels like I'm off roading on the freeway, or even going 20 mph down a not 100% smooth street. Along with being EXTREMELY uncomfortable, the car sounds like it's about to break. I have brand new shocks, and they help some, but 80% of the problem is still there. Should a suspension rebuild kit fix this problem? Where's a good place to purchase one? If this won't fix the problem, what do you all suggest?
Thanks in advance!

(Sorry I just had to say it) But seriously, C4's aren't known for their smooth ride, at least not the one's I've owned/driven. You said you replaced the shocks and it helped. Tires also make a big difference, I just put on the Kumo AMXs -- much smoother ride over the BF Goodrich G-Forces I had. I'm sure others will chime in with ideas on how to make it as smooth as possible.

LOL, I knew I was going to get the Cadillac comment.
I have driven 2 other C4's, both being way better than the ride in mine.
I have BF goodrich tires right now... but they were close to new when I got the car and hate to get new ones (Money's tight in High School). I guess I'd have to live with cringing everytime I hit a dip in the road.
Hopefully someone else can help me out a little more, if not I may have to look into some new tires.
