its been lowered now, and only on LOWs (not super lows) back and front

would getting new and better shockers on the back improve any of the bumps, is it noticeable getting better shockers than stock shockers

cant do much to the fronts im guessing

Have you still got the original shocks in the car? Yes better shockers will help a lot.
Too many people keep the original shocks in for far too long, and they weren't Very good to begin with.

Definitely. I recently did the fronts in the missus Calais, the old ones only had about 60K on em but could still tell the difference between the old and new shocks. New strut top bushes made a big difference too.

Just rear shockers i was meaning

Put new bushes in the front cos the originals were torn up

Just on that the front pedders springs do creak amd moan a little when pulling in out of driveway which is annoying

The rears are often overlooked but if the rears are shot and you hit the brakes hard the rears are more likely to lock up.
