Be aware, stiff is the last thing these forks are. I had a set on my Salsa as standard and had to change them asap due to the blades flailing around under even moderate braking!
I think the crown is just too shallow?

I had a set of Bontrager Comps back in the day, and they had way more torsional stiffness than the crappy Orange fork that came with my Clockwork. They did have a bit of fore / aft movement which made the ride a bit more supple than the likes of a Pace RC30. If the legs were flailing around under braking that probably has more to do with brake set up than anything else. The same thing still can happen today on cyclocross forks unless the front exposed brake cable is kept short etc etc..
