Default Lowering Springer and bouncing

I've noticed many lowered cars seem to bounce a lot when they're driving and particularly shifting, I know many of them just chopped their springs but I wanted to know for anyone who just has lowering springs and stock strust if they get any bouncing on the road, was thinking of going with the eibachs.

Bouncing is caused by bad shocks or the wrong spring rate.
Buy name brand springs designed for the Ford Stang and if
your shocks are good, you should have no bouncing.
Aftermarket springs and OEM struts/shocks will just
wear out the OEMstruts/shocks faster.
Now if you have worn out shocks and scrounged the junkyard
for springs that look like the OEM springs just shorter and
about the same size, as ricers on a limited budget or have
a cousin that "has done it before and knows what you
need"do, you will also have the dreaded bounce you
refer to seeing.[:@]
Eibach springs rock.
As in they are good as most others are.
Eibach shocks front and rear $150 free S/H.
