help

The LT, like all models but the SS and befitting its comfortable nature, has a soft suspension tuning that places ride comfort above handling. Shock damping is good, with the usual highway bumps well controlled, although small, sharp bumps produce some harshness................. what can i do to improve suspension going ove small,sharp bumps????????????

go buy a Caprice with a real flaoty suspension. I love the ride and handling in my 2.4L way former then base without being harsh like the S/C.

There might not be anyting to fix. Perhaps your expectation are out of line with your suspension.

I think what he is saying is that the LT has a soft suspension, and it kind of hops over large bumps. He wants to stiffen the suspension so that it stays in contact with the road better.

Would new, firmer shocks accomplish this?
