If you have a set of longer aftermarket shocks on the car that are longer than
stock roadster shocks they will bottom out.
I put a set of those on my car 10 years ago, took them on a 30 minute drive and
immediately changed back to a roadster shock as they kept bottoming out.
I did have my springs re-arched and added another leaf and this helped a lot.
I think it cost $100 about 10-12 years ago. Good luck, Dewey
