It is the stock valving on the shocks. I got my car with exactly the same mileage (27k) and i felt the rebound was 'loose' or bouncy. Compression was ok, but could have been stiffer too. I ended up sending (dropping them off at their shop in person) my shocks to Bilstein to get slightly more aggressive valving, but not race valving or anything like that.

I ended up with the request to increase rebound 20% and compression 10% if I recall correctly. I didn't alter compression much because it would be possible to program the shock controller to stiffen the setting at a lower speed...it was the floaty rebound that needed the correction. If you search my name here and 'bilstein' the post should come up.

I hear they aren't keen on rebuilding these shocks anymore, but might custom valve brand new unit$.
