Bumpy like the car is waving up and down?

shocks wornout?

With the car parked push down on a corner of the car hard and let go.

The car should not bounce up and down more than 2 times. If it does the shocks may need replacing.

do you have to cut the bumpstops when you install H&R's?

I would imagine that if you didn't cut the bumpstops when they are supposed to be, that would account for some limited wheel travel accounting for the possible wheel scraping.

My H&R's have never scraped except when one of my rear shocks blew out. I would inspect the shocks to see if there is any visible liquid on the outside or give the car the "bounce test".

if you just installed your RSB, check that for scrapes cuz a lot of them are installed too far back. that may not be the problem but it's a thought
