I've got $10k+ into mine and it's still mostly stock... I'm a huge proponent of the OEM+ philosophy.

I just got the Sportlines put on my car about a week ago and I can definitely feel a difference in the ride quality. In fact, it's so bad that I hit a bump on the highway and it scared my gf. lol. I'm a little worried that my struts may have been damaged during the install. How would I be able to tell?

Whenever I go over bumps I can hear something loose on the back wheels. Sounds like it could be something loose in the trunk, but I've checked everything. I'm afraid I may need to get some Koni Yellows.

UPDATE: Took it to the shop and the found that the rear sway bar was loose. Took less than 2 minutes for them to tighten it up and now my ride is just as quiet as it was when it was stock. Thankfully it was nothing serious!
