Hello, my 93 240sx is lowered and it has brand new shocks. however when i drive, i can feel every little bump on the road. the whole car shakes when i drive over a small pothole in the ground. but then, when i drive over speedbumps, i can still hear my shocks so i know theyre still working good. is the shaking just due to the fact that its low or is there something wrong? is there any way to reduce the shaking of the car? thanks.

If you can't handle degraded ride comfort, don't lower a vehicle. That's really all there is to it.

I've found that adding some bracing helps for the ride of the car, especially when going over bumps. In an s13 it makes a big difference in creaks and rattles which add on to the perception of the car shaking over bumps.

Look up bracing, SPL Parts is a good place to start. I have the Nismo power brace, fender braces, F+RSTB, and I want to get a rxb! :p
All of them are very good.
