Shocks worn or something else?
I currently have 57,000 miles on my 2010 IS350. I had H&R springs put on the stock shocks around 32,000 miles, and I remember right after the suspension felt slightly firmer but not harsh. Overall was a great upgrade.
As of recently it feels like my car nose dives during braking. If I need to brake hard I start sliding forward out of the driver's seat.
Going over dips in the road it feels like there's a lot of travel downward, though I've not heard the car bottom out.
Going through intersections that aren't flat, but have a rise to them, I'm typically tossed upward out of the seat. Landing back in the seat has caused me some lower back pain so figured I'd ask if these are symptoms of worn shocks or could it be something else?
I tried the bounce test on the four corners, but the car didn't continue bouncing.

Thanks all. I was considering the F-Sport shocks, but there's a stop sale at the moment. Anyone know when the stop sale will end, or have any recommendations on other shocks that would work well with H&R springs?
