It's still slightly bouncy and I might play with it more later, but so far it feels amazing.
Can you isolate where the bounciness is coming from, front or rear? This setup has minimized most of the bounciness from the stock setup, but there's still room for improvement. At 2 turns from soft front and 1.5 turns from soft rear, I'm not quite happy with harshness during street driving though I understand you don't raise spring rate (and compression/rebound damping) without losing some ride comfort.

I only notice the slight bounciness on hard cornering. It feels like it's from the rear. I was 1 full turn from soft in both front and rear and was getting a bit of understeer so I stiffened up the front another .25 turn. I think if I stiffen both ends proportionally I could get rid of it.
