You have Dave's old car right? Anyway, what type of struts did Dave use with the UAS? Its probably worn out. I know other members of Dave's old crew used Koni Shocks with their UAS set ups with good success.

well if any of the suspension components, especially struts, are stock then youre going to get a floaty feeling, as the car does from stock. KYB's are also good struts in addition to the Koni's, as well as bilsteins. Coilovers will yield much better results on the UAS, as they would without it, but are obviously a less cost effective route.

good luck jealous of the air.
