That sounds better than doing the springs.....is replacing the shocks very difficult? I'd be willing to try it myself if it is not too hard....I know the rear shocks are dead, the car bounces in back quite a bit when I go over larger bumps or "waves" in the road, and the rear of the car can easily be made bounce by hand on the trunk rail. Whats the procedure to swap out the shocks? Do the springs have to come out too?
