Default Bilstein HD Shocks??

Trying to avoid this wheelhop, was told to get shocks. Can I just get the rears or do I have to get all 4.

I cant heat up the tires without bouncing the rear. Whats up with that?

With stock and aftermarket shocks having different characteristics I would think replacing all four would be the better option.

I went with revalved Bilsteins from DRM. I haven't had a chance to check them out-but I'm looking to be a bit more flat around corners. The OEM's aren't too bad as by this pic of me at Watkins Glen.
