When you press your weight on the front corner, does it go down quickly, or slowly? If slowly, it sounds like your shocks are overly firm. Also, it should go down quite a bit (if you weigh more than 150 lbs.) My dad 88' Nissan 4x4 has very heavy duty shocks (put on my my uncle when he had it) and it barely goes down and does not bounce at all. Ride is extremely harsh. Sad, considering this truck had a supple ride when new with the factory shocks. I remember riding in it in 1988 when it was new. I was suprised at the supple ride. I hate the shocks he has on that truck now.

Anyway, back to your car- when you place your weight on the bumper, it should go down fairly quickly and easily, but still come rebound back up and stop - which yours does.
