Default the best shocks for being slammed

Hey guys I just got some megan racing coilover sleeves rears are on koni reds ride great but fronts are on stock shocks I have the coilovers on the last threads front and rear but the fronts are very bouncy I'd like something that will take the bounce away and are cost effective since I'm 16 and on a budget thanks also do some auto cross driving but mostly the streets and freeways of oregon

Nothing will take that bounce away.
You either live with it, or raise your ride.

So no other strut will take the some bounce bounce away compared to stock struts?

i hope you do realize a decent suspension for being slam is going to run you at the very least $600 and that not including chamber anything lesser than that is junk. but to answer as your title state function and form would be your best choice for being slam but here another thing you also said you want to autocross not a good idea for being slammed, so as you see you can't always have the best of both world unless your bill gates.
