yeah, mine do the same stuff, but they dampen rebound just fine. I'm upgrading to HDs when I do mine, which will probably be next month. Worn or not, I want to firm up the ride. I have a feeling if you put on OE "comfort" Bilsteins, or Sachs, you won't notice mich difference. I'd go for the stiffer shock to make it worth your while.
