ubrben has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
To the OP: do you have a setup sheet? What is you mass distribution and spring and bar setting?

If you don't have a decent setup sheet that describes what the car is chances are you're Lukin's wolf chasing two rabbits but wearing a blindfold as well.

As for the bouncing I can think of two things off the top of my head that aren't even related to dampers. Firstly could it be a roll oscillation due to having a stiff ARB, as I said it would be nice to know what your percentage roll stiffness from springs and bars is.

The second is related to roll centre heights, would you say they're high? Because if you run too high roll centres you can cause the car to skip sideways during a corner. This is another thing to do with contact patch load variation but not damping. Many people would call it jacking but the explanations in all the books I've read miss the point.
