absolutely. might as well - your stock struts won't last you much longer with the drop from the springs

H&R are definelty not "bouncier" than TL-S stock. If they are, something ain't right. You sure you got the right spring H&R Sport Part# 50106? Instlled correctly? (sorry, gotta ask).
Koni's can add firmness through damper adjustment or softness via the same knob.

Alignment
Wouldn't think so.Give 'em a few days, get your alignment and then see how they feel. They might need to settle a little.
Seriously though, if you had a bone stock TL-S suspension (no dealer change out, A-Spec, etc) and they feel softer, that just doesn't sound right.
Damper and perches re-aligned to the strut tower correctly, etc. You didn't cut any bump stops or anything right? Just plug and play?

yea i just the springs in installed dat was it......but the thing is i got 19 inch rims in the front and 16 inch rims in rear...long story short i sold the stock wheels and my 19 inch rims i had 2 of them went bad...so i just put some honda accord wheels in the rear from my old car....so my car is kinda unevenly balanced...so that might be the cause...not really sure...i got new rims but its winter time right and i'm gonna wait till it gets warm....

bouncy would really defeat the purpose of getting springs.. unless u just wanted a nicer look.. but i personally like a stiff ride (that sounded very gay).. i hate body role.. but ya.. there is something wrong if u feel like they are bouncier than stock cause they shouldnt b

H&R is a lowering spring. Higher Spring Rate on Soft Strut = Bouncier Ride. Also, 19" wheels on 235/35/19 will make things worse. I would think that its stiff up front and really cushy in the rear with the 16's. Most the bumps felt by the driver are from that front so what you're saying makes sense.
