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".

It's not discomfort really, its just a fact that on the highways near me, they put these big dips in the road at certain points and if you're going 70 or 80 mph your butt is going to launch out of the seat for a second. I've hit bump stops before and this aint it.
