Hey wats up folks just bought a 95 gt couple days ago the daam thing bounces like crazy in the freeway and hits hard when I go through potholes I lifted the car and looks like it has aftermarket springs not sure if they where cut off cant tell. I want to replace them but before I do I want to be sure that its not the shock absorbers or something else am sure you guys know what am talking about any tips would be appreciated thanks cafords

Hey bud, the same with my foxbody, bounces pretty crazy and hits hard on pot holes.mainly the front.
-The pro to this is i when i take off from a stop my front end lifts a good amount and plants the rear wheels. "No does not lift off the ground" but i think of it like a drag/track suspension lol.my pro stars up front and 3:73 out back help too
I have kyb struts all around "orange ones" and not sure what springs but they are blue and its lowered a good amount. Ill take pics later after work around 6pm

Haha do you lift out of your seat too sometimes...
Hey well take some pics and write down the part numbers of your springs and struts so we can find out whats your problem.
I believe my problem are the springs
When you hit bumps do your steering wheel swerve, if so look at the bumbsteer
Look at your tires, is there more ware more on the outside or inside, caster camber , and i think toe
Does the top of your wheel lean out while making a u turn, have someone watch for you

Worn shocks/struts is the issue.

I got the same problem at about 65mph. Can this be caused by an unbalanced shaft? Or tranny mount?

Yea I guess it starts at the shifter. But vibrates the whole floor of the car.
