Hey guys. I have a 96 gt convertible and it rides like crap. I know its a sports car and is supposed to have a stiff suspension, but its a little ridiculous. I can feel every little imperfection in the road, and when i go over the big bumps, it feels like the car is going to fall apart. Also, when I'm accelerating and I go over bumps, the rearend jumps and the tires loose traction. I found a set of kyb G2 struts and shocks on ebay for 200 bucks. I have a feeling the stock stuts in there are bad, so instead of replacing with oem ones, I figured upgrade. Should these help make the ride a little better? I think the springs are ok? I've looked at them before, and they look like they're all in pretty decent condition so I'm going to keep them unless I'm advised to do differently. Also, the car has just reached 100k and I'm pretty sure all of the suspension parts are original. Are they're any bushings I should replace while I'm in there?
Another thing, I read that subframe connectors are a must on convertibles. Should these increase the ride quality? I found a set on ebay for about 40 bucks that I was going to weld in. Would they be ok, or should I go with name brand connectors and spend over 100 for em?
Thanks for all of the help guys.
