I have the DF210 springs installed on my hatchback. I find that sometimes my car rocks up and down sort of like a boat. I have no problem with rubbing, just rocking. It's sort of strange.

Would the combo of the shocks and struts make that boat-y feeling go away?

since it rides like a caddy, maybe your stock shocks are blown. check and see, you might be able to see an oil leak on one of the shock tubes.

If you've never been in a lowered car or a car with cut springs, maybe your getting a small amount of "Honda-hop" where after hitting a bump or dip the car bounces front to back for a second before settling back to a smooth ride. You dont notice it so much with a good set of struts, but with stock ones w/ mileage on them it will just get worse over time...

A friend of mine had a 2000 celica gts w/60k miles on it, we put in some Eibach sportline's...1.8f - 2.4r drop - and after a couple thousand miles the cars factory struts were done and a trip to englishtown new jersey for summerslam compressed our spines by a couple of inches.... When we got back he decided to replace the struts with a set from Koni I believe, and the ride was much better...
