Based on guidelines from Belsley et al. (pp.
112-113;2004) it does appear to me that you do have
significant collinearity among some of your variables.
Large variance-decomposition proportions (>.5)
associated with each condition index (>30) identifies
the offending variables.  I'd want to drop some of the
variables causing the collinearity---and re-run the
analysis--with the individual variables.
