It has to be said though that a sensible suspension set up is paramount to safety. I had a mk1 jetta 1.5gl at one stage in my life. It was a long time ago and to say it had a recent mot would be a stretch. It would not be a stretch though to say that it had a valid mot not long after a bought it. At the time of purchase it already had a set of lowering springs in it, make unknown. I took a trip along a road at speed which has a hump near the end of it 50 yards or so from a t junction which terminates at a angle instead of perpendicular. Anyway, I know this road and still managed to get air born and ended up in the middle of the road, not good. I quickly fitted a set of boge turbo gas uprated and shorted stroke dampers with matching boge springs and powerflex bushes on the front arms. I did put pagid fast road pads and vented discs o but that is somewhat irrelevant as the second time down the road I did not get air born at the same speed at the same hump. The car came straight back down to planet earth.
Your suspension setup sounds very bouncy to me and not very forgiving at high speeds or if were not meant to be speeding then along bumpy back roads.
