Default tein bouncy

can somebody please explain

i raised my teins to near stock height for the winter season and since its getting warmer, i want to drop it down again. my question is, why did the car become bouncy after raising the teins to stock height? i didnt think it would have that kind of effect from the beginning but its uncomfortable/scary at time.

i would consider bouncy to be soft as in they continue to bounce after hitting bumps.

and stiff as in, hard bouncing but more quickly than soft bouncing.

if that makes sense.

tein basic's are aften considered bouncy (soft)
