My wifes 2005 Vibe with 43,000 miles needs new shocks and struts, we've always felt the ride to be a bit rough since buying the car new, is there a fix to make this thing ride like a Caddy or Greyhound Bus?Jeff (SoPaRider) from PA

Not sure...Everyone I've seen that has done something with their suspension has lowered it.

The ride is supposed to be firm. You could try putting a 15 inch wheel/tire combo on the car and use a high sidewaled tire.

increased tire pressure softened sharp bumps quite a bit in my car.I don't think you can get softer springs, but if Monroe makes shocks to fit they should be less harsh (at least I've heard).
