your have lower profile tires = less tire sidewall; less cushion when you encounter bumps and dips. You may also be lowered too much...did you cut the bumpstops?

suspension is more than just springs and shocks.
you need to check bushings, tie rods, balljoints and steering rack components.

I agree, if it sounds like something is breaking. It could be something else other then you new suspension.

Your car's suspension is old period. And it looks like a geo metro on 20s. Your wheels are grossly big compared to the cars size and shape.

you need to evaluate what needs to be changed. dont just replace whatever.
put the car on jack stands and start shaking things. if there is any play, replace that part.
