Sounds like your discomfort was from hitting the bump stops.
If that's the case, you were likely either too low*, or actually needed a higher spring rate.
I believe SS1s don't have separate damper body length adjustability, so incorrectly set bump travel can't be the reason.
Another possibility is that your rebound settings were too high for the street.

* — from the perspective of "given the spring rates, the suspension didn't have enough travel to absorb enough energy too hit bump stops".
