Some time ago there was thread, the conclusion of which was that with a
comp suspension and heavy duty springs softer shocks may be a better
choice. I am guessing that a combination of firm springs and hard shocks
can cause a lot of bounce on anything but the smoothest of roads.
I have the comp front suspension and an extra spring in the rear with the
grey KYBs and it seems to work well. For racing on a smooth track the
KONIs or white KYBs may be better but for street driving the combination of
stiff springs and a softer shock has worked well for me.
