Suspension/tires/etc...Help!

Hi guys,

I have not posted for a LONG time, so most will not even recognise the name. Its actually my license plate, which my kids named the car.

Anyway, I am having some noise in the rear and I am not really happy with the rough ride I am getting of late.

I have 18" x 7.5" wheels, Eibach springs and stock shocks with 67K miles. I also have the Comptech sways and newtech strut tower bar. I am considering replacing the shocks with Koni yellows or something by KYB.

Will that change smoot out the ride a bit? I don't want mushy, but my wife is griping about the ride. I am also getting some rubbing with rear seat passengers and when hitting bumps.

Thanks in advance and I am really glad to see the site is still up!

Regards...Michael

Any suggestions on where to buy online? Prices are all over the place. autocarparts.com seems to be the best.
