I would stiffen the AGX's.
If you don't run enough stiffness on the dampers, they will oscillate to hell.

So your AGX's are set at full stiff?
Then you got a weak back...

I'm running Tokico Illuminas, but I'm running the same GC coilover set-up and spring rates.

Yes, they are stiff.
My gf HATES the car.
But it doesn't bother me.
