Mark- I switched my old, brittle rubber, mounts for Rennline's monoball mount/plates and I honestly don't notice any difference. Could you explain more what you're feeling in the suspension?
Sorry to say that you're not going to have any luck using camber/monoball mounts with the Bilstein B6. The mounts raise the ride by ~1 inch. You might be able to get as low as the standard Euro 964 ride height before running out of front strut compression travel, but you won't get anywhere near RS height. The rear shocks have much more available piston travel.
Additionally, you would need a top hat for the rear spring. The B6 shock/spring combo terminates the spring into the stock top mount. And non-coilover springs also don't lie flat at the top coils. And you'll likely need some counter-sunk strut top nuts. The threaded portion of the B6's aren't long enough to protrude completely through a monoball bearing when all of the spacers/etc are stacked up. I have some parts that can make the rear work with camber plates if you're interested, and I have some counter-sunk nuts for the B6 shafts. But the limited strut travel in the front is going to be your biggest problem.
Even with a true coilover system (PSS9/KW/etc), you need to make sure that the front strut bodies are shorter than stock in order to have enough piston travel.
Hard to explain how it all fits together, I hope that this helps!
At the moment i'm using these in the front ( FVD ) to get the perfect hight for my light car.
Its hard to really describe the movement - it's when you are above a certain speed - in this case 80 km/h - and you turn the steering rapidly into one direction. Then you feel the side movement going through the whole car making the back of the car feel uncomfortable. hard to get it into words.

Really sound like an alignment issue. I'd get your rear alignment double checked.
Hey i wanted to give a Update on the Silver Sufer - and there is some News...
If you want your Car to be Widebody, do not put it back together with all small Body parts, because you will end up thinking about it
and thinking about it and thinking about it and in the end you will take it apart - again....
So here we are, an empty Bodyshell waiting for the fully welded Rollcage and the Wide Body welding. The RS specification welding has already been done.
I think this will end up pretty much as a RSR replica!
