stock suspension seems a bit too stiff
well it didnt bothering too much when i swapped bak to stock suspension(struts and springs) but lately its been bothering more and more especially since it seems like im still riding on my lowered suspension. as i drive i can feel pretty much every bump or some imperfection on the road and when i get over a drive way bump or something of that sort it feels like the suspension doesnt want to take the bump and remain taut or like that.
i know we put everything bak together right except for the driver side front, which made a loud clashing or popping noise(springs not turning as it should) whenever i made a sharp turn but had it taken out and put it as it should be. the bolt that holds the whole entire suspension together was put bak on until it stopped, which im not sure if its supposed to.
the only thing that was changed was the bump stops which had been cut to b used on my lowering suspension but i did keep the cut half. they were just put bak on the stock suspension as 2 pieces and im pretty sure they wouldnt cause a stiff ride.
anyone got a clue into wat might b a good remedy or check to see wat is the issue? im kinda handicapped as in being able to work on the car since im living an apts with no tools so if anyone can let me go to their place and work on my car there that would b great. i live in the urbana, il region.
TIA, sorry to those who hate reading a crap load of info

im on stock rims and tires. they were kinda high on psi so i changed that it made barely any difference.
i did notice on some big bumps that the passenger side front suspension seems like it is moving around alot like a noise of a loose suspension or clearances are more than it should and things are moving around ie springs

rofl! i bet the rough ride is contributed to the horrible roads around town. god these roads seem like they were here for ages and just poured some pavement gravel in those holes.
