    yeah, start by trimming your bumpstops. or try taking them out all together and see if your normal use conditions cause it to bottom out at all. I'd suggest replacing the shocks out back too. It will take the bouncyness down as well. For the front, you could just adjust the torsion bars for now. Later you can do the balljoint flip and other stuff like that to regain some ride quality.

    im pretty sure my rear shocks are dead, i had to replace the front ones, so i guess rears would need replacing as well.
    and when my rear suspension was loosened while doing blocks, i undone one end of the shock and i could move it in an out pretty easy, :S

    haha, sandal, or thongs/flip-flops as we call em here. funny.
    yeah i still gotta do torsion bars, i had trouble cracking the locknut, its pretty tight, and so awkward laying on my back with front end just on jack stands, ill wait till i get to use a hoist at trade school.

    atm ive being busy with muffler, so havent bothered with suspension.
