any coilover you get will be a lil bouncy..some more then others since you can adjust the dampening on some...i have the skunk2 and yes its a lil bouncy but its really not that bad..it doesn't really bother me

rori ( f*ck your form ) <3
you wont find a coilover that wont feel jumpy when you hit a bump. or you'll be compensating something else ( performance/floating)

Yes, they're stiff. Yes, you feel everything.
Yes, it's a good thing

If you set the height to not that low I'm sure that would cut down on the harshness right?

i have the skunk2 pro-s and i have a pretty low drop on it, it is jumpy, but i would say that it is controlled. in my opinion, when they bounce they recover quickly. I like it a lot. never been on coilovers with adjustable dampers yet so i can't really compare. my 2 cents.

id rather have stiff suspension...i like being connected to the road and at high speeds...floaty buick-like suspension feels unstable to me
