    i figure coming up on 75k miles i should start asking the question if I need to get new suspension?

    I mean, is it just an age thing? because I can't tell just by feeling; I don't autoX and this is the firmest car I've ever owned anyways.

    what say you all?

    If you want to play around with suspension get some upgraded parts, sway bars, links, springs and struts and see if you like it, you probably will.

    And if not, put the stock stuff back on unless its broken and sell me (or someone else here) the upgrades!

    Id say, why not play a little with the car now? Especially considering you have the wagon in addition to this.

    if you are chewing up the tires, there are alignment issues.
