[spg] - shocks/springs

Hello all,
I'd posted a little farther down about my 88 spg and shocks - I'm not sure if I need new shocks or not; the ride is harsh but this seems typical of spg's. However, this is the only spg I've driven; perhaps I'm looking down the wrong road? Could it be something other than shocks? A. Roper helpfully wrote:
"For your question on the shocks, I also have an 88'SPG. I think most of the harshness comes from the springs, not the shocks. Years ago I replaced the shocks with Boge, and felt a little help. This past year I replaced the springs with Intrax and shocks with Koni and got a smoother ride with faster turn in, less sway. Don't get me wrong, still very firm but the whole interior doesn't feel like it is getting slammed over the imperfections in the road. "
Could it be that I need to replace the springs? Or both.. or is it simply that the suspension is designed to make the ride feel decidedly bumpy. What can I do to minimize the jaw-clenching?
With many thanks,
toshi - 88 spg
