continous bumpy roads can become excessively annoying

great ride height tho, only .75 inch drop, looks great

The bilsteins and the springs were placed in at same time, so not really sure which of the two is good and bad.

overall conclusion: i like the way my ITR drives, but i like a slightly stiffer ride (less sway), a tad less bouncy (not bumpy...bouncy), and a little more stability at higher speeds. I think the new suspension even affected my braking, high speed braking seems more unstable now....not sure tho
im running Falken Azenis tires on stock wheels, car is 100% stock other than the mentioned suspension. I hope this helps somewhat. PM me for more

im looking into either apexi n1 coilovers or spoon n1 coilovers
Everything you said the car is doing that you don't like, I think is coming from your tire and rim selection. I had the Azenis on stock wheels and hated it and sounds like the same feeling I was getting.

Try a stock wheel & tire and then tell me if the car is more stable.
