Default Coilover question

I have been thinking about gettin coilovers for a while now. I like the look and I would like to lowwer my car on occasions but not often. My question is will it make my car all bouncy like I see a lot of dropped cars? I would like to keep the same feel when its at normal height. I figure when its dropped, the ride will change a bit.

The bounciness you see from cars dropped is from blown shocks OR shocks that cannot handle the higher spring rates of coilovers and aftermarket springs.

it depends on how low you lower the car and if you keep lowering the car on occasion then your alignment will keep getting messed up unless you get some good shocks you will not bounce a lot
