Good to hear your springs are still working great. I have been laying low after my post months ago discribing my Abbott springs. Mine have settled only slightly. The rear of my car still sets lower than the front. I was told that the 9000 models all sit like that. I believe yours is more level or nose down. To correct this I am now looking into 1/2 inch spring spacers.
I was surprised to find that the main problem I was experiencing with the ride quality was the rear Koni's were left in full soft during initial installation. I now have the rears set at 1 full turn. The fronts are at 1 1/4 turn. The car is much more controlled. The front suspension is no longer fighting to control the rear. I do still have an annoying bounce effect with the front, but only over the largest road dips/bumps. It is nothing like before.
Overall, the car is now a pleasure to drive. I want to post a picture but have not been successful. I will post how the spacers worked out later.
Thanks,
Mike
