Suspension Help Please
I have a 1997 C5 that I love and it drives great.
Let me start by telling you its not my everyday car. It stays in my garage during foul weather. So, it's basically a fair weather car.
My question about my suspension. It currently has a stock suspension, stock leaf spring and stock shocks. The problem is, the car gives me a very, very stiff ride. You feel every bump not to mention if I hit a pot hole, it's swerve to get out of the way, or kaboom.
Can someone give me some advice what I can do to correct the problem? I was looking at coil overs, but will that solve my issue?
If possible, PM and Emails would be great.
Any advice is really appreciated.
Thank you

I'd look at the shocks for wear/damage and at the leaf spring to ensure it is OK.
