I just picked up a new toy to work on and it has stock springs and lakewood drag shocks. This car RIDES LIKE SHIT. You can feel every little bump in the road. I want some insight as to what might need to be changed. When I press down on the back of the car it goes down and doesn't return up. I'm thinking shocks/struts are garbage and maybe new springs.

Drag Struts. They're for hooking.

They're drag shocks. Regular street driving will feel like shit almost like riding on pure rims with no tires.
