i replaced my rear shocks a few years back with kybs, and left the previous owner's sears heavy duty's on the front wheels. in general, the ride is pretty crappy over bumpy pavement, and i wonder if this has to do with running a combination of different shocks in the front and rear, or if it's because the 122's suspension isn't all the sophisticated. ipd is advertising monroe shocks, saying that they come close to approximating the 122's original ride, but what was the 122's original ride like, anyway? my 122 isn't lowered or otherwise tweaked. no anti-sway bars or nothing. and i don't do anything remotely like racing - just cruising around for leisure. any suggestions on what shocks to get if you're looking for a ride that doesn't thunk the car every time you go over a seam in the pavement?

thanks again for your expert advice,
f.r.
