One thing that Pedders hs found, and it started with the GTO, since the GTO is an Aussi built vehicle, that in fact oversrpinging shocks and struts are in fact detremental to handling. The reason is directly related to the size of the tires and the weight of the vehicle.
We have done some tests on MEISTER's sweet ride. We took the KWs off the front, and I am not sure what shocks he had in the back, and put our system on it and in fact set up the suspension for a drag race/street performance orientation. My preliminary roadtesting showed me without a doubt, that his vehicle now handles better than with his KW coil overs, and in fact his ride comfort is significantly better. He can launch his car with ease. I have the picture of his mutliple 100yard burnouts that he is noted for.
So we will discuss this further once I have a few more test cars done. But it is possible, since you have a lot of non complaint movement on all 4 corners, that your situation could be related to too aggressive of a setup. Just a possibility,
