Remember you are riding on 19' wheels. you will FEEL every little rock . bumps. kw fullcoilovers shouldnt bounce at all. just play around with dampening setting.

how much do your 19's weigh? I bet a whole crap load...... thats probbably the big issue. remember basic physics, F=MA Force = mass X acceleration. so the more mass(Weight) something has the more Force it can exert on things. If you went with a lighter wheel/tire combo I bet the bouncing would go away.
