I think this is more of an issue of the Bilsteins (you've got
Eibach/Bilstein suspension, right?).  They are just too soft on rebound.
I've had the same problem with speed bumps.  When you have any appreciable
load in the car you essentially have to stop at the top of the speed bump
and let the car creep down the other side to avoid crashing down on the
aluminum channels.  The Bilstein front shocks should really be revalved to
increase the rebound significantly as they just don't work well with the
Eibach combo, IMO.
