It's not the coilover or spring that makes the ride bouncy. The ride is bouncy when the shocks do not have firm enough valving to dampen the ocillating motion of the spring. If you put 300 or 400lb/in springs over stock shocks, of course you will have a bumpy, bouncy ride. If you are going with GC or Skunk2 or whatever coilovers, you need to choose shocks that will be able to dampen the ocillations of the spring rates you choose. I know the off-the-shelf Koni Sport valving is good enough for 425lb/in springs.

Exactly what andrew said. Shocks control springs......the less dampening you have with a higher rated spring the more bouncy its gonna be. If you just want to go for "looks" lowering then I'd advise a spring rate in the range of 200-250 lbs/in.
