Default Bouncy suspension (Tien S tech on stocks)

I've found my S tech mediums are a bit bouncy on the stock shocks...
Does this usually mean the shocks are not well matched with the spring rate?
Anyone here with the same setup?
If so, can any compare to a good shock replacement?
thanks!

yes, your shocks are unable to dampen the springs properly... I don't think you can go wrong with KONI or GAB. I am running TODA FIGHTEX coilovers, so I am no expert on matching dampers to springs, others will have more suggestions...

It must be my perception of "bouncy."

generally yes, unmatched springs can cause a very bumpy ride.

right now, i'm loving my coil overs. they're awesome.
