Another shock question...i know i know...

It sure feels like it's the front that is stiff when going over bumps, but maybe it is the rear. I was going to rebuild my leafs this winter, but I have been debating on getting a set of Hotchkis leafs for it. Maybe it's worth replacing them to see what it improves, then look at shocks if needed.

It does not sit on the bump stops, there's room for travel. I'll have to mess with it a little and see where it's at. Most of our roads here are horrible, and those ypu really feel, on the smoother roads, it rides amazing.

The whole car will feel stiff if the rear springs are stiff enough.

With 1.03’s you’ll still need about an inch between the bump stops and the frame rails, otherwise you’ll be using those bump stops a lot on lousy roads. If you’ve got QA1 LCA’s the bump stops that come with those are polyurethane, and a lot stiffer than the stock rubber bump stops. They’re not progressive like the rubber bump stops, you don’t want to be hitting them all the time
