Default front end bouncing

after replacing my front shocks while keeping my stock springs on my car. I thought i go with a pair of bilstein b6 performance shocks. After replacing the shocks I notice when i hit a bump the front end will feel like it bounces more. It feels like i have lost some of my stiffness to the front end of my car and it's driving me nuts. Does anyone know if this is normal for these shock's. By replacing my car from the stock shocks and going with the bilstein b6 performance shocks. I would give up some of my front stiffness on my car ?

I'm not familiar with your Bilstein complaint, I was very happy after doing B8s with Eibach Pro's to replace OEM shocks and springs. Typically springs are good for the life of the chasis. Did you install these parts new?
