Thanks guys, I recieved a plaque. No I'm not going to take it to every show after this to show that I won something before. I hate that LOL. Jazz my car does not feel twitchy after the drop. I might feel twitchy as I see large potholes infront of me or something lying in the road.

Do you have sways? You might want to go with adjustble stiffer sways and shocks if you feel like it is rising then loosing traction. To me twitchy sounds too stiff though. Hard to diagnose here. Need to give a person with susp. tuning experience a ride in your car to tell for sure what to do.
