These days the ride is really floaty and it seems loose at high speeds (170K miles). Sometimes I get knocks when the steering wheel is at full lock. Though, I won't know for sure if its just the shocks causing me issues, or the rest of the suspension setup; the other suspension components looked okay when I installed the Solowerks a while ago. I predict my issues are multiple parts, but I intend to get it on some jacks to verify.
Anyone got an idea on how Solowerks compare to some of the more well known brands? In case I decide to replace..

Interesting. Bouncy is not the word I would use to describe them at all. Bouncy too me is ebay coilovers on a 92 honda civic. Being part of the KW family I doubt they would be similar to the KW V1's. My guess is they are less harsh. Thanks for posting.
