Another question about shocks
Hello again everyone. I have yet another question about the suspension on the cars. I know I keep pounding you with questions, but you have to learn somewhere, right? 
Anyway, my question is this:
The reason I am trying to upgrade my suspension is because whenever I hit bumps or go over dips in the road my car feels all bouncy and unstable. I have brand new G-force tires, so I attribute this to bad shocks. I don't want to buy new shocks and be overlooking something. Could it be something else? Thanks!

I assume you also have the base suspension. My vert has the base suspension and i also felt the car was "floaty" especially at speeds over 100....not very confidence inspiring.
I upgraded to aftermarket rims (19's all the way around) w/ lower profile tires and my problem is gone. I was thinkin' about beefing up my suspension, but the rims/tires solved my problems.
If you have any questions....just e-mail me directly
