It appears I need more spring front and rear. CRAP!!! I am thinking I may be upgrading again. We shall see. I will need an expert suspension guy to help get the feel I want, if it is possible.
This sounds a bit odd and forgive if I've missed something but I went back a couple pages to try and catch up. If the car is loose/skippy on bumpy roads that would imply your too stiff and now deflecting off of stuff rather than absorbing it. If your trying to achieve a zero roll ride in high speed turn and at the same time eat bumpy roads up then I would say don't waste your money "upgrading" again because no suspension will achieve that otherwise every race car would just be a rally car because why bother making a rally car and a road course car when the rally car could just to it all just as well.

If you want the traction over bumpy surfaces then really a more progressive setup is desired but then you lose turn in response etc.. but that is truly the best way to get bump compliance without blowing through travel and keeping mid travel support which is why it's popular in off road applications.
