OEM Shocks Struts and HTEIN Springs ride is Garbage?

Hi Peeps,
Was just told by a mechanic that a recently modded HTEIN drop with brand new monroe shocks and springs "doesn't ride like before" He claims its too soft and that there isn't enough travel distance for the suspension. What is he talking about? The Hteins barely drop the car. Are we going to get a car that constantly bottoms out? Please help explain!

Dr.Omed.

You're bouncing all over the road aren't you? You basically should have used Tokico Illuminas or Cattman modified AGX-5,.... you have more spring than dampning! Oh yeh stay away from that generic Monroe, Gabriel, anything from Sears...etc, Koni, KYB, Tokico would be me only route!
