Have you fitted the springs with standard shockers? If so, that's why

Maybe the shocks are fucked? Best thing you can do is buy some shocks with an adjustable dampening. Then you can set them firm to eliminate the bounce a little.

You need some 300lb springs mate.normally custom springs are around 200 -220lbs i had some -90mm 300lb springs made and it just feels like having -60mm springs on just like i wanted.

Spax Kryptons are a good quality adjustable shock. You may struggle to find the rears alone brand new though.
