I'm not quite sure why these atomic shocks comes with super stiff springs.Running it makes the rear end of my car feel so jumpy especially when the track (rcp) has uneven surface. I replace these springs sets with stock awd springs since this is much softer than stock atm and it is good  for more bounce/rebound. Then I put thick grease like atomics mid viscosity grease right on the shaft for forward/backward dampening.

This is how it looks on a 94mm configuration.

I'm sure you can also try different aftermarket AWD springs.
 
Thanks for letting me use your car for this mod Tristan!
