Default Bouncy Ride- questions inside

This past weekend I installed a set of the AWE H&R and Bilsteins. The fronts were set at 25" and rears were 25.25 right after installation. Yesterday the fronts settled at 24 5/8 and the rears are 25". The car feels as if it is pivoting on the front when I go over bumps, almost like a cut spring feeling. Would raising the fronts up to 25 cure this? Anyone have anything lower then 25" for a daily driver? TIA

Default Check for blown shocks.

Blown shocks will results in a bouncy ride. It's rare with new Bilsteins, but it's still a possibility. Call AWE if you need details on what to look for.
