Now a year later I am noticing that it is starting to react when hitting bumps again, the steering wheel wants to jerk when I hit bumps on the highway and the over all handling fells a little loose. I have more body roll in the corners then I did a year ago. What do you think the cause of this is? Do I need to have anything re tourqed or do you think something might have failed? I'm running 22's with about a 1 1/2 inch drop and a 1/2 rake. Alignment is dead on with 0 degree camber. It has a slight pull which I'm sure is due to the craddle but its not bad at all. Any suggestions would be great, thanks!

Check all your damper settings/knobs. Try tightening up the rebound. Example, if your front dampers are open 1 full turn, try closing them to 1/2 turn open. I have around 20k miles on my KWv2's and the ride is a little more "looser" and not as tight and controlled as it was when they were new. Unfortunately I have my front dampers open 1/2 turn and rears 3/4 of a turn, so I don't have much room to tighten the ride further.
Also, tires may be a factor. As tires get older the ride begins to get sloppy.
