Hows it going guys, I am in need of some new shocks and struts, and who knows what else. My car shakes alot on rough road, I want to make my car feel better basically when I drive, so whatever I should get, let me know. And if you have links to items, even better. Any info for a noob would be appreciated guys.

 

I'd start with the basics: springs, struts/shocks, and tires.

There seems to be a thread about that somewhere...

 

got new tires already, any suggestions on shocks, struts, etc? thanks

 

just one?

 

I was trying to make a moderate understatement.

 

nothing moderate about that understatement, may be understatement of the year.

 

thanks for the info. instead of saying "theres a thread about that somewhere" perhaps you could provide me w/ a link to this wonderful thread?

 

Here's one people have found helpful.
Here's one about shocks.
One about improving handling.

I didn't mean to come off as an as*, but there are alot of threads posted every month about the same basic questions.
If the car is shaking, you might want to get the wheels/tires balanced. The ride on rought roads is just par for the course with these cars. They don't benefit from the better uni-body designs of newer cars nor do they have much in the way of sound deadening. Good tires and shocks will help you, but there's not really much you can do to eliminate the ride characteristics of the car. From the sounds of it, you might want to look into some Bilsteins (I've heard these ride nicer than most other shocks).
