In this episode of "Jake realizes that routine maintenance is awesome" -
New rear shocks are installed and what a difference. The old stuff was definitely original and very blown out. The car must have been riding more or less on the springs in the back, as the new shocks have it sitting about 0.5" higher back there. It's much more composed over bumps.
I suspect this will make me address the front shocks next, to get everything at a baseline. But not like, too soon. Winter is coming and this thing is gonna get a bath and a good ol' hard park soon enough.
