the bounce is usually due to lack of shocks. which isn't very healthy.

if it was bouncy its was probably cos you were sitting on the bumpstops...

Bounce is the damper!! Basically you re-bounding too much which gives you the bouncy effect. You'll probably find that your bumpstops are too hard OR the dampers are begining to wear out. Springs usually effect the compression rate.

At 60mm with 'regular' dampers and spring you WILL be running into the bumpstops, this tends to give BAD handling and wears dampers VERY quickly due to their being very little compression travel.

Its GREAT for giving a slam with minimal scrub but has the bad side effects too, its hard but you have to compromise unless you want to keep replacing parts.

From experience Id go with coilovers.

I had PI springs and went 60mm drop on standard dampers - not advisable

Although the drop was a true 60mm
