Own a 2002 Conv. Great car but doesn't drive so smooth. If i hit a bumpy road the car will shake and make all kinds of rattling noises. This both from the top of the car and its dash, well the front end of the car. Its not like if the drive were really bouncy, it seems more as if i had no suspension what so ever. Its like i can feel every imperfection of the road. Im a noob, dont know shock, struts or spings. Can anyone point me in the right direction as what to buy to improve the drive.

the car i believe is 2 in lower than reg must. i would like to not change that.

posted in the wrong spot, but I would start with shock and strut replacement, and then possibly move on to upper and lower control arms. Of course without being able to see the problem it's kind of hard to diagnose.

I would start with weld-in full-length subframe connectors and a strut tower brace. Those verts are notorious for crazy cowl shake, and I think that might be what you're experiencing.
