This is my first experience with a little performance car. The factory ride is a bit rough with our roads around here to begin with, so I'm not sure how to tell if the shocks are working or not. How will I know when it's time to replace the shocks?
When the car starts bouncing up and down like a wave and doesn't stop even when the road is smooth. In other words the spring keeps going boing boing boing with no end in sight.
Two videos (begining) to help check things. Another way is push down on the car near the wheel see if you can make is bounce or does it want to stop right away.
If the shocks are bad you can literally dribble the vehicle like a basket ball lol. Rule of thumb is generally to push down let off and the car should settle within 2-3 bounces.
There are many that state the ride is a bit firm in stock form. Plenty of threads covering this topic but seems like the best solution with out breaking the bank would be MeisterR coilovers that improve on the factory harshness but can still be ramped up for those smooth roads.
