To much bounce
I've recently installed lowering spring. I left the stock shocks in place. I figured I'd have to replace them anyway but thought that I might as well get a couple a months out of them. The car is getting to bouncy now I sometimes feel like I'm driving a Big ol Caddy.
Will upgraded shocks help the bounce problem or is it absolutely necessary to go with a coil over kit. I originally chose to go only with lowering springs and not a complete coil over kit just in case I didn't like it.

well... if it is really bouncy... then maybe your stock shocks already died...
it is always a good idea to use aftermarket shocks for aftermarket lowering springs... and if you anticipate changing your shocks anyways, don't kill it faster by running it with aftermarket springs..... just in case you don't like the springs, and decide to go back to stock everything... well, now you would have to get new stock shocks cause you just killed your original set...
