I like H&R springs. I run the sport spring. They also offer a spring called the OE Sport which is closer to a stock height. I would def. replace the stock springs to something stiffer.

H&R OE sports will only drop your car a little bit and are stiffer then stock.

Will this take care of the bounciness that I have right now?

It should.
Are your shocks set to soft or hard? That might be why it rides crappy.

Right now they are set at 3/4 on the front and 6/8 on the back. What would you recommend for stock springs?

Hmmm.....I'm not sure as I don't have adjustable shocks.

Is it more bouncey in the front or rear? However not sure if you should stiffen or soften the shocks.

It's bouncy more in the front than the back.

Try setting the front to 5, could help.

The front only goes to 4 (ie 1, 2, 3, 4) Slower rebound as the numbers go up. The rear goes to 8 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

I'm looking into springs right now.

Adjust your AGX shocks to counteract excessive bounciness. When you go over bumps (or... dead bodies/whatever), you should experience a quick bounce; that's it. If you keep bouncing, go w/ a higher rate in dampening.
