A much stiffer ride.

Which people often confuse with being 'bouncy'.

I know you're making that comment as a general observation... but when I personally referred to a "bouncy" ride, I'm talking about a specific problem.

When high-rate springs that are used with dampers that aren't firm enough to control the springs, bad things happen. The mismatch leads to greater shock wear, premature shock failure and a car that literally bounces up and down as the spring continues to extend and compress.

I'm out. I just wanted to clarify this before leaving.

FWIW, I would save up and go with a true threaded-body coilover suspension system. For the reasons I mentioned earlier, I'm not a fan of coilover "sleeves".
