on smooth roads big rims small tires gives better handling and ride wont be affected but on crappy stl roads you will feel the bumps and dont even try going down an old coblestone road.

I usually take my time and not rip and roll around corners stupid fast but always a smoother ride is the idea. I saw spring cushions at autozone for like 8 bucks but I was like eh naw that'll make my car look stupid tall.

Your sayn:
you would buy shocks from a junkyard? r u serious?????
If your going to replace the shocks....Buy New....Besides...shocks/struts usually only are good for like 40,000 miles....

And I suspect...You have a vehicle with mileage..much higher than 40,000 and never had them replaced...Am I correct?......

Well my baby is an 06 with about 85..just about to touch 86, Ive had her since 66k and from what I know I dont think they have been replaced. I only wanted to see if it would be a difference. I do like new parts on her, since shes not cheap, a LS, but not cheap O.o;

Testing out my struts, they seem fine, my tie rods seem fine as well, maybe its just the road, if its a smooth surfance the only thing i feel is the bass of my music O.o;....
