i got new struts for my car, and i though the struts were shot but it still rides stiff. is it possible that my new struts are shot also? wen i pushed the strut down it didnt come back out. and i was wondering how i can make it ride smoother....feels like i got hydraulics or somthing, its really bouncy......PLEASE HELP ME OUT, ANYTHING WILL HELP. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif

Technically, the FD doesn't have "struts". They have shocks. Additionally, spring rates, tires (primarily the aspect ratio) also factor in heavily when talking about ride quality. What shocks did you buy, do you have OEM springs and what tire size are you running?

kevin. No upper 'A' arm to resist side forces = strut FD = coilover shock. |

Bad shocks/struts wont make your car ride rough, your springs and high compression/rebound shocks will. |
FD's ride pretty stiff compared to your average street car, maybe you should find somebody else with one you can ride in and compare.

Might be problem with the shock absorber.
