Ya, thats normal for a car with that type of suspension. Back in the days if you remember there was a 1985 honda civic (red and grey 2 tone) that use to be all over the valley. I had bought it back then off this dude and experienced the same thing even tho back then they use liquid instead of air, its the same thing with the way it rides.

Feels like the front of the car just wants to take off the ground dont it?

if you can get it to about the same height as ride or a lil bit below the ride should be a lil bit better

from what i hear its bouncy regardless of where u set it and it makes some kinda sense cuz people who install this kinda setup do it for show and for looks not to drive as a daily driver in most cases

get those pics up creme ive been anxious to see it

I heard after a while of driving on bags your back starts to get pretty messed up

Had hydraulics back in the day and I would never have it again, bunch of batteries occuping your trunk, always have to charge them and then having to deal with hydraulic fluid and rides like crap, no thank you. Id do air before I do that again or stock suspension.

you do have a point, i busted a seal one time when i was doing 5mph and hopping about 3ft off the ground.
