Default Suspension around turns

Around turns my front wheels start to bounce so I have to let off. I can go into the turns quick with no problem except that the front shakes like it skipping around the turn in the front. I have Ground control coil overs with 5 way adjustable tokico gas shocks. I have them set on 5. A type-r front strut bar and rear upper strut. The car isnt very low its about 1-2 inches lower than stock. Does anyone know why the front skips? Or does anyone have the same problem?

Do you have the TypeR tranny too? Sounds like your front is too stiff...or youo are too low and hit on the bump stops...or worse...end of shock travel.

What rim/tire size combo are you running? If you went too big or have too much of an offset, you may be rubbing (or in this case bouncing) off of the fenders .

What are your spring rates? How many settings do the shocks have (saying they are at 5 is not enough info) ? Did you cut the bumpstops when installing the suspension? What is the length of your springs (i.e. stock or shorter?). What tire pressure are you running? Is the skipping worse on the left or on the right? Or same in both directions? Has the car had an alignment recently? What are the alignment specs? You must provide more info.
