If you want to spend the money you can fit a set of Ohlins T44 shocks to it. Set the the HIGH speed bump on the lower setting as this will allow good transition over the kerbs without upsetting the vehicle at speed, eg the flip/flop at Oran Park, the Esses at Mallala, Eau Rouge and the Bus Stop at Spa-Francorchamps,etc. Set the LOW speed bump towards the lower end of the scale, this will help power down but can effect turn in compliance on medium speed corners. HIGH speed rebound is dependant on driving style as to how you hit the kerbs, eg wether you hit them going into the corner, or coming out etc. LOW speed rebound, mmm... I would start with a middle setting and go from there. This adjustment helps to improve inside tyre grip on the unloaded wheel when cornering. I would then fit a Motec M800 and run shock potentiometers etc, down load all data on Motec Interpreter V1.3 and check shock speeds and make all necessary shock adjustments from the data. You will need to quote vehicle corner weights and prefered spring rates so they can setup the shocks with the necessary base settings. This WILL fix your problem, but will cost you around $20k+ and $2k a day for a good data interpreter to fine tune it.... Or you could spend $100 for Monroe gas shocks, weld the front section of the leaf springs together in front of the diff, this will increase spring rate and help to stop axle tramp at the same time.
