Want a better ride

I have an 09 with 90k and wanted to ask if anyone has any suggestions on getting the ride a bit smoother. Lately it feels wobbly and takes bumps harder than usual.

Hey, it could be the links, check for the clacking sounds when going on bumps.

Sounds like busted struts / shocks.
You can usually do some high level testing without going to a shop.

If you do end up replacing your suspension pieces, definitely take a look in the classifieds. But do be mindful that vert suspension is slightly different from coupes, especially the mounting points for rear shocks.

I'm fairly confident that's not the case.
370 rear
g37 coupe
g37 vert

See how the bottom mount is completely different for the vert?
