The rear end bounces around like there is no tomorrow, one of the front struts is gone, and the other is making awesome grinding noises when the suspension moves. I took the opportunity to get some Koni sports with some H&R springs, and will keep the car on-road from now on. Hopefully everything will come in by friday, and I will have a fun weekend with Charles changing out suspension parts. From this, I also know that if Charles and I get an old beat up car to fix into a rally car, the suspension is one of the things that can't wait for another time, since the first race will probably destroy a lot of stuff in there :P For a little additional clarification, there is just no damping from 3 of the dampers anymore.
