Sluggish '06 TSX :/

So my '06 TSX is 40 miles away from hitting 20k. Bought it at 12k in June of '07 (so 9 months or so).

I'm really concerned lately of it's road performance. The ride has gotten less comfortable, driver's door is vibrating and so it something on the passenger side.

To the cars defense, I drive it pretty hard and mostly in the city (san francisco). A few times, it's bottomed out when hitting the hills too hard and perhaps even a small jump on one of them (nothing I'm proud of.. it creeped up on me), landed pretty hard.

I'm due for oil service and wanted to ask you guys what I should ask them to check out. I really need to change my driving habits if I want to keep this car longer...

Thank you

Not really what I'm looking to do. I don't feel like it's sluggish in terms of performance, but ride (guess bad word choice, sorry).

lcrazyaznzl: Thanks, I'll let them know to check those out.

I feel like I feel every pothole 10x what I used to feel.

definitely sounds like suspension, just have them check the shocks, struts, ball joints, heck everything suspension related. I know those SF roads can be hell, I can never imagine myself driving my lowered CL-S around there.
