Update. Adjusted the shocks and ride is night and day difference lol. Pulled apart the trunk to find the rears set to full soft, so left those alone. Btw, the left side is a pain thanks to the gas tank pipe..glad it was set soft so I didn't have to mess with it. Adjusted the fronts about 180 from full soft. They were set really close to full firm. Thanks for the input everyone. I can live with it now! Lol.

That solved your tram-lining issues? The nose following ruts in the road is typically indicative of an alignment issue, or simply a side effect of wider tires.

No issues with that anymore that I can tell so far.

Every new year they made the s more street friendly, I think 07 shock and springs are the softest.

And just to touch on the low-speed (piston speed) compression, the stock shocks actually have more than the Koni's

Interesting...

Do you think bump or rebound damping has more influence on ride?

Does that mean the entire stock compression curve is "higher" than the Konis?

Generally, rebound has more of an effect on ride quality than compression damping, as rebound controls sprung weight. Too much rebound damping, the car will crash over bumps. Too little, and you get bounciness.
