    Rancho RS5000's installed (need vx for comparison of shocks)

    im considering changing the rear shocks on the vx. although its really hard for me to tell if they are worn. it rides really rough on bumpy roads and freeways. although it doesnt undulate like an older car would with a blown shock. if i have the rear door open and jump bounce the rear it wont keep bouncing either. but again the ride it far rougher than i would think it should be. ive been in sports cars with very harsh suspension and its very close to that.

    a perfect example for those in the area. 880 north from fruitvale to 5th st, 2nd lane, the vx's rear doesnt absorb any of the road imperfections. it doesnt bounce but almost goes up and down like it is directly connected to the frame.

    i bought the vx used with 90k miles on it, now 115k, a couple years back and it still has the oem shocks. so im asking if anyone local to the ca bay area, east bay preferred, wouldn't mind me driving or even sitting in your vx for a comparison.

    pm me. thx.
