Default Suspension Q

My car started riding harshly recently. On smooth unleveled roads it still runs fine, but if goes over bumps very harshly. Are my shocks going bad? If so, are "performance" shocks much more expensive compared to OEM? My suspension is completly stock right now, except the Neuspeed rear 19mm waiting to be installed.

All input is appreciated. TIA.

Default If you're hearing noises, it could be your control arms going bad.

Usually, as a suspension ages, it gets softer, and bouncy. If you're noticing harshness, it *may* be something else.

Might be the weight of the driver. What kinda question is performance more expensive the OEM any retard on the block could figure that one out.

I would think that any aftermarket suspension parts would be LESS expensive than Dealer.
