It's too bad there isn't a way to, like search all posts in this section to see if this question has been asked before.
H&R sports + stock shocks will be very harsh and bouncy. Since it is bouncy (underdamped) it oscillates more and therefore wears out internal components like seals sooner. |

HR Sport Springs will wear out stock shocks faster because their shorter and stiffer. Plus, the ride quality is terrible because the stock shocks can't properly dampen with such a stiff spring |

Your struts were done 70xxx miles ago. Your car should not be bouncy, especially if it is on stock springs & shocks.
