My 92 definitely has an aftermarket setup because it sits a bit lower {see pics} and its quite stiff. The problem is the springs are very stiff, and when it feels like the car is always riding on the springs, so the struts are either shot or way underdampened. Due to the 160k miles on the car, I want to replace both the springs and struts. I Live in upstate NY with roads that are pretty bad. Because of the stiffness It feels like when cornering, and hitting holes, bumps etc, its inducing
