Thankyou for your speedy replies
Yes i did replace them with standard OE shocks. but i still think the ride shud be firmer than it is even with standard springs. the best example i can give is when i go over a big speed bump (that is if the car doesnt scrape the floor!). When the front of the car goes back down again it will dive down then pitch up again then dive down again to settle (you can notice this a a small level when just bouncing the car when it is stationary). Before i replaced the shocks the car would simple just hit the floor no matter how slow i went.....the shocks had no oil in them, and thats what i thought made the springs go soft possibly, becasue they would be doing all the compression and rebound.
Do you still think that the shocks are the guilty part, if so, i mite consider getting a complete shock and spring kit
Cheers
