While you're under the car, have you thought about taking up the slack in the rear subframe mounts with some hard rubber spacers? Some guys have done this with WRXes, and its made a marked reduction in driveline bounce. I'm hoping to try out this mod myself within the next month.

I have installed some plastic spacers that I made out of F-150 radius arm bushings in the front carrier bar. If you look real close in the pic with the Koni in it you can see a thin gray spacer wedged in the mount, just in front of the rotor. It made a huge difference in the drivetrain bounce, got rid of alot of slamming from the back. I want to make some bushing inserts for the rear carrier mounts, something like Energy Suspension makes for Neon or Civic motor mounts. They can even be used in junk mounts. I havn't really had a problem with them before but the R-180 rear sits real close to the top of the cross-member so I might need to stiffen them up to keep it from hitting.
