Suspension Restoration, How Much Improvement

[Perfectlap]

120K miles and you're on the same suspension.. you will be stunned at how much better the car will ride with a overhauled suspension. I've always driven cars with modified suspensions so I like to ask passengers who generally drive passenger cars what they think of the plushness over the seams on the highway, broken up concrete on the side roads, etc. When my suspension was new all my friends remarked on the excellent ride quality (while I thought it was a bit mushy). By 70K miles the shocks were toast, when they came off the car and I saw the condition I was embarrassed to have waited that long. They looked like shocks coming off a 30 year old car that was driven through Bosnia. The low center of gravity can fool you over time into thinking that the shocks "aren't that bad" even though they are well past the sell by date. But man is this a costly suspension to overhaul.
Also, do the engine mounts. Makes all the difference. And avoid wheels that weight more than 25lbs. or underinflated tires. The rattles will only increase.
