Well, the car passes the 'bounce' test (push down with all my weight on the front corner, car goes down and up, stops dead), and certainly doesn't wallow or dip in cornering, so I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that the front shocks are OK. It may indeed be a stiffness or binding in the shocks that is affecting the ride quality. How do I test this?
I doubt the alloys are significantly heavier than the originals, only one of which I have (the spare), but an additional 1" in the diameter could be I guess. The tires are Michelin All Season Rain Force MX4 P205/65 R15 set to recommended pressure.
