However, there was still a little bit of residual symptoms of bumpsteer during the test drive (it got a little wobbly on me).

After reading the subsequent posts in this thread, I thought I would try firming the rears a bit more. I turned them up from +3 to +5 and left the fronts alone. Today, I took it out to the twisties and had an awesome drive. This configuration, for me, eliminated the symptoms that used to scare the hell out of me. I highly recommend considering the Koni's ahead of the adjustable control arms.
Alright! Now we're talking. What did the Koni's cost (if you don't mind) and how did they affect the ride and handling overall?
