      Replaced the shocks. Still bottoms out. Where's a good place to get coil springs? I guess the factory springs are some cheap crap. Car only has 52,000 miles. Man this car has been a pain.
      Just had to replace the whole a/c system except the condenser.

            these fixed my problem....http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

            FWIW....I have kyb adjustable shocks, and am stock ride height...don't know your setup, but those springs fixed my bottoming out setup....if you have a 98+ car you might want to get z28 springs, or find another set of v6 ones from a 98+ car.

            The springs in the link are slightly stiffer then a 93-97 car and will cause slightly more oversteer...not much though..

              The stiffer the better. Tired of the bottoming out thing. I see Moog chassis prod coil spring at Advance. The one's on the Summit link are stiffer, right? Thanks.

                the ones in the link are stiffer if you have a 93-97 as we only have 94lbs...the ones in the link are 104lbs and 98+ are 114lbs. The stiffer you go with the spring the more prone to oversteer you are going to be UNLESS you do all 4 springs, and shocks.

                Be very careful. I would read up on our suspension system before jumping to a stiffer spring....the two stickies at the top of the suspension section here have a lot of good info without having to search very far....
