Ok. Here is the thing, I have an s14a base model. I have had it for like 3 months now, and have a bunch of questions with the suspension. It feels good in turns and sits pretty flat as long as it is an even surface... if I get an bumps like bridge connectors or whatever I get an uncomfertable boaty feeling. When driving in windy conditions the car gets really jumpy, takes a lot of work to keep it straigh sometimes coming over high bridges where the wind gets really strong, and feels sloppy. It is strange. I have bottomed my suspension twice recently on larger bumps... The pervious owner said he replaced the rear struts recently... I don't believe him, just like I don't believe that he never used the trailor hitch he put on there (I wanted to kill him... but I wanted the car more) But anyways... what do you think? Is it bushings? Is my stock suspension just sloppy cause it is the softer base model? Help a guy out!
