In several threads there is mention that the stock shocks are overdamping the springs. If the springs and shock rates are matched, I assume that would be the solution. Seems like a higher rate spring would work or a more compliant shock. I am just not sure if the Koni at full soft would still be too stiff for the stock springs?
if you buy higher-end coilovers, you will notice that they will increase your handling performance while still being relatively "soft"
