Your running a stiffer spring on a shock for softer springs. Thats why the rear end would be sagging and bouncy. The stock shocks weren't designed to take the higher spring rates of the s-techs.

And adding a sway bar won't help a bouncy rear from shock wear.

Basically you need new struts that can handle the higher spring rates. Not a bad idea to do all 4.
