Try messing around with your tire pressure some, also make sure your alignment is good.

You cant go wrong using Strange double adjustable coilovers, also check your alignment as was mentioned, play with your tire pressure and heat your tires good.

solid aluminum? or some kind of solid rubber?

how many mounts are you all using? all of them? 5?

alignment question is a great question. has it ever been aligned with the slicks on the car?

and the tire pressure question is also a great question

it should be under 10psi for sure.

Make sure your motor mounts are all tight, and none of the bolts backed out, or stripped out.
