1G-specific Megan Racing Springs 2" drop review

I installed these on my 1GA AWD at the same time as my KYB AGX's at all four corners. I used ingalls camber bolts up front and a DME kit in the rear and got it aligned. I was really dissapointed in the ride quality. The car never bottoms out or anything, but its very bouncy and easily unsettled. I've adjusted the settings on my struts several times attempting to stiffen the ride up to no avail.
Not sure if the manufacturers spring rates are accurate(325lbs/in front, 250lbs/in rear), and if they are, then maybe AGXs aren't strong enough to control them. If the AGX's arent strong enough, I can't imagine what the heck they matched them to with when they designed them. Perhaps Konis could do the job, but I doubt it. IMO, anyone who's willing to drop enough cash for some Konis & springs, might as well just stop half-@ssing it and pick up a decent set of coilovers.
Even if they designed their springs to be matched with a tougher strut, then they should have noted it somewhere on they're site, no literature is shipped with the springs either.
Overall, I'm very unhappy with this product.
