I'm so happy with the Vogtland/Koni setup
I went with the club spec springs. I set the shocks and about 85% for the front and 80% for the rear. It really isnt harsh at all and handles big bumps very well. I live in NY so I've gotten to test that out pretty well. Theres so much less body roll its almost awkward. The one thing that I did notice though is that at low speeds the car seems to bounce a bit. I had a couple friends go with me for a ride and they said that its just because the suspension is firmer and that I'm just feeling the waves in the road...does that sound reasonable? I'm going to go for a drive now because I still can't get over how much of a difference it is to drive the car now

You get that bounce at slow speeds because the slow speed dampning has been firmed up.
I am glad you're happy. What is your ride height all the way around from fender to ground? Car looks great! I am considering getting that same setup.

Could be...
could also be shocks that are too soft (front and/or rear)...and it could also be an imbalance between front and rear rebound settings.
There are a lot of different ways the car could "bounce" and accordingly a lot of different ways it can be addressed. There is no hard and fast answer...somebody needs to evaluate his car to determine what the suspension is doing.

I think the "bounce" that is being referred to is the stiffer suspension complying to the
undulations in the road, rather than absorbing them. At least that is what I hope it is. Otherwise, something could be wrong.
