What are the spring rates? Maybe the springs are too soft or maybe they installed something wrong.

I like my H&R sports with Tokico illuminas. Not bouncy at all.

That dosent help the OP much though does it?

OP, that is a very basic cheap lowering kit. The springs are most likely not that much stiffer than oem, and those shocks are nothing more than OE replacements. Basically that kit is junk, sorry to say. Did you buy it all brand new?

90-91 prelude HP kit rides like an absolute dream, i don't know where you're getting bounce but i guess if your shop is inept at installing stuff...i wouldn't trust their diagnosis
