If it's bouncy, your dampers are set too soft. The BC coilovers have dampening adjustment, so just tighten those up. No need to mess with the springs.

They don't have different springs. There is no way GM (or any manufacturer) would support a dozen different springs for one car.

This is exclusively a V6 problem. The SS's don't have to swap rear brakes as they have the same calipers as the ZL1 and 1LE.
