Default Supra Koni's with Eibach's (lower in the back and bouncy)

I just installed a set of Koni yellow struts 4 way adjustables with Eibach pro-kit springs, the setup came off of a supra tt.
I am wondering since I installed these fairly late at night that I might have put the rears on the wrong perch. The rear is lower then the fronts and the car feels a little bouncy, feels like the bounce is coming from the back. They are on the softest setting. I am going to put them up to the perch above but I am wondering if I should stiffin up the rears to maybe a 1 or a 2 to get rid of any bounce.

Thats how my SC looked with the Eibach's, but it should sit a tad lower in the front, but the stance looks spot on.

As for the bounce, has to be the shocks, but seems you already figured that one out...so Im scratching my head at the moment too.

I would try to change the setting first. I know my KYB's feel squishy (very similar to stock) when on the lowest setting.

How much did the springs lower the car? If you look on Koni's website, there is only supposed to be 20mm-30mm lowering rate. I don't know much about eibach pro kit

This may have something to do with Supra spring perches sitting lower than SC spring perches.
