so you said you feel the road more and isn't harsh so no bouncyness right? I was going to get coils but i think springs will do the job

Correct.

The ride is more firm (No more "floaty" feeling) yet it's not harsh/jarring.

Note: I am using OEM shocks.

Looking at the timestamp of the opening post, I'd say he's had them about 5-5.5 months

Thanks guys!

I've actually done a few things to the car since the time this thread was made ... I was planning on doing a little write up but haven't gotten a chance yet. I will soon though!
