Can I ask how much you have had the car lowered by? Also do you have any form of roll centre correction? This might affect the bouncing you are experiencing.

Also what tyres and pressures are you running and do you know the spring rates you are running?

Glad to hear you are warming to them - I'm thinking of getting the same setup on my STI... Either them or the KWs cant seem to make up my mind at the moment.
