I knew there was something else...

in general, as you increase the stiffness of the springs, you want to decrease bump damping, and increase rebound damping.

This is why slapping a heavy spring over a stock damper is bad... It will probably have to much bump causing the car to jar harder on bumps, and not enough rebound so it keeps bouncing...
