Default Tons o' bumpsteer in '91 CRX--need fix, please

It's lowered with Neuspeed Race springs front and rear on Tokico Blue shocks. After the drop, I got a four-wheel allingment (just a standard one at the local repair shop). The only other thing I have done to the suspension are 16" wheels with 205/40-16s. Oh, and the bumpstops weren't cut, but the Tokicos came with shorties and I used those.

The ride is super harsh and jolty, and the car jets sideways unexpectedly on many bumps--especially when only one half of the car hits a particular bump. I would think that even though that's not a lot of mods, it should ride considerably better.

Does anyone else have this problem? How is it fixed? I think I heard of a fix by raising the steering rack--has anyone done this? Please help 'cause it sucks.

17's, huh? Maybe it has more to do with such low profile tires not flexing with the road in both of our cases.
