If you find that tie at stop...
Given that you say the ride has deteriorated, I would recommed closely examining all of the shocks, to include a peek under all the boots if present.
Is this a kit?

It would really be a huge help to me and vettethret if someone could show a diagram or picture on how to do this test (where to place the zip tie).

Attach ziptie snug to shock rod close to the shock body. Drive car such that bad behavior is exhibited. Look and see where the tie is now...Keep in mind that if your spring rate is too high for the weight of the car, it WILL bounce. This is not to be confused with bottoming out.
