Cam, I noticed it was bouncing on the bump stops when I drove it. That was in a straight line on those shitty roads down near AVO. I have only 2-2.5 inch (wrote it down somewhere?) of wheel movement in the back of mine. Mine handles much better on the track with them in! ie much less power on understeer exiting corners. Remember more wheel travel equals more camber and toe changes. Those bump stops are tapered so act like a swaybar ie exponential roll stiffness increase as they are compressed. Trimming them like you have will change the progression characteristics so they will be bloody hard when you impact them.
