With 16" wheels you are likely running a 50-series tire which will give a very "firm" ride
with no real sidewall flex. This is good for handling but hard on the car. What kind of springs do you have? I prefer stock springs
with big 16" ("+2") wheels, or stock springs with no more than 1 coil cut out. With this setup I use comfort shocks in the rear and HDs on the front.
