I am thinking that your struts are shot...time for new ones! KYB is an excellent choice, or Monroe Sensatrac.

Stock struts generally seem to give a bouncy ride with lowering springs. I suggest aftermarkets that AREN"T direct factory replacements. sorry I dont know any specific brands.

I did a 1.5" drop front and rear, and also replaced all shocks and struts w/ KYB GR2 struts, and KYB Shocks..
Granted I also did tie rod ends, wheel bearing hubs, and ball joints the same day, that should not of affected the bumpiness..

however it was very bumpy for about the first month.. don't know if this makes sense but maybe they needed time to settle because they feel a lot better now
