Front 350# springs and Stock Rear Springs - How do I keep this things from riding like a bucking bronco or the ricer bounce?

I want to hear from those that don't just drag race.

My original settings we F c15 r0 and R c2 r6 and it rode almost exactly like the bilstiens that came off the car if not a tad smoother. Now with the rear pumped up to R c14 r6 it is a lot more bouncy and doesn't have the soft cushiony ride I was getting used to.

I have my da Viking on the front set to 2r and 16c and the rear sa set to 5. I was able to get 1.41-1.42 60'. Im still not happy with the way it pulls the front wheels and then bounces what can be done to help this, guess crank the rebound up in numerical value?

If it's pulling the front too fast, you can click up on the rebound to slow that down. I'd try three clicks more on the front R so it makes a difference but doesn't totally wreck your 1.4x.

When it drops the nose, does it land super hard on the shock and not compress enough?
