well lol, every bump u go ova rather than absorbing it it will bouncy and be louder... its like going too the corner of ya car and pushing on the wing toill it bounces, it should rise fall and settle.
with worn dampers it carrys on bouncing and then stops will bounce 3-4 times rather than twice

i say bugger it, buy the springs and put up with the ride quality which i think isn't too bad, it will look good in the time your saving up for shocks. i've had -60mm G-Max springs on with standard shocks for 8 months and they are still alive and i dont find the ride quality to bad at all, and it looks good!
