NO it should'nt bounce that much, it should come back up and settle down, maybe bounce twice but thats where i'd put the limit. You probably blew your rear stuts. What kind of springs do you have and what kind of struts?

yep blown shocks,
all the shocks for our cars are NOT meant to be lowered that much
most will actually say that its for stock height and that a special shock should be used in lowered applications. I know I know they all sell them right next to the lowering kits but its true

Thats why I always recommend Teins or other true coilover setups.
Cause its actually cheaper, cause now your on your second set of shocks.

Do you have the oem spring seats?Their rubber foam pads that go between your spring and the top hat.
