Noob needs help

Hey guys I have an 89 formula 305 with the ws6 suspension, just got it a few months ago

So i had to go to boston yesterday.... i think that tells you everything

Friggin OH MY GAWD, **** was creaking and crunkling and teeny pot holes felt like cliffs

is it the springs is the the shocks?

I have no idea what I need to save up for now, everything is stock as far as i know, would new shocks help?

Ive heard these springs are outrageously hard, maybe some cushier ones?

Please help i feel like my rides falling apart!

noise can be made from full out chassis/body flex. subframe connectors will help with that.

worn out shocks and struts cause rebound problems which give a bad ride feel.

springs are the mjor factor since they hold up the car, ws6 springs are great for handling but like u said ride comfort might not be present.

other small factors for noise could be worn out busings in the certain moving suspension parts like a-arms, lower control arms, etc...

should start looking at subframe connectors just because out uni-bodies need them.

and usually with alot of miles on thirdgens some still have the stock shocks and struts which need replacement after awhile.
