Bouncy Ride wit Tein HA's??

So here's my dilema. I got a 98 3.0 and I just finished doing my Tein HA Suspension and ever since I put in the Camber kits for the front & rear its been pretty bouncy as hell. I'm running the control arm anchor bolts on the front and adjustable upper ball joints on the rear. It wasn't that bouncy before I put the kits on even though it was pretty cambered out. HAHA...Go figure..LOL... When I picked up the suspension it didn't come with any charts on how the damper rating should be. I've been messin around wit the settings for about a week and cant seem to get the adjustment down. It also seems like the back is more bouncy then the front although I would assume the front would be due to heavier load with the motor. But anyhow, if anyone has any suggestions on what to do or if they had the same type of problems and fixed it, please let me know. Or also if anyone has a copy of their TEIN Damper rating sheet i'd love to see what the setting are. The HA and either the Basics or SS should be the same. Thanks.....

So the saga continues. I got some adjusting down and now it seem to ride a little bit smoother. I looked on the TEIN website and it gave me some info. I adjusted the back a little softer then the front. The front tighter by 2 clicks. It still pulls a little to the right but i'm thinking its probably the alignment now or a tie rod. Anyways, another weekend spent tuning. HAHA....

Do you mean bouncy as in being underdamped or bouncy as in skipping over bumps?

It's a little better now that I set the damper a little softer. It's still a little bouncy & I assume it's because the spring rating and the spring compressed length. I know coilovers are supposed to be more on the bouncy side. But again Hawaii's roads are like ranked #2 in worst roads to drive on so yah. LOL.....I'm still gonna do more adjustments on it till I get it at where I want it.
