In my opinion, the stock shocks and struts are barely adequate for the stock springs. My GT has 20,000 miles, and the rear shocks have a definite lack of rebound control, resulting in an exaggerated bobbing motion over bumps. IMHO, the first suspension upgrade should be a good set of shocks and struts. I just ordered a set of Konis for my GT.
BTW, I've noticed several newer cars lately that have OEM shocks that are completely shot by 20-30K miles. My PT is one of them. A Dodge and VW were the others. This is another area where manufacturers apparently like to cut costs.

Ditto. I am at 20K now and can't go much further with the rears at least. Front struts seem a little better.
