Default S60 guys: what shocks are you using?
I'm using Koni DA's and cant seem to stop it from wheelhopping on the street. I got them adjusted pretty stiff and still isnt working. Expecially when its cold out.

You have re-location brackets too? Assume you have BMR lowering springs....

You might want to take a look at your pinion angle. You may have to experiment with that to get a desirable result.
