I am surprised that this happened with the stock shocks. I'm using a shorter(when compressed) shock, and they don't bind on my setup.

Also make sure to make sure that the sway bar is not contacting the axle at full compression. I did have this problem.
No, I just needed a rubber bump stop on the outside of the shock shaft.
Along with a thicker viscosity oil in the front, note this only happens in the front

Everything is stock on my car, except the shock angles.
I have the front shocks on the 4th hole outwards towards wheel
and rear 3rd hole outwards, hints more vertical
