Coilovers take awhile to adjust properly. If your car is bouncing alot that means that the preload is incorrect, the springs are compressed too much. Check the nut on top of the front coilover, I believe it is 14mm.

Any performance shop can help you to get everything adjusted!

How about the back ones there confusing the strut and springs are separate I have no clue whether to adjust the spring tighter or loser and also the strut itself which one do u mess with and how?

First adjust the spring, once you get it to where you want it, adjust the shock to match that height. If you adjust the spring higher than the shock you will be riding on the spring and getting a bouncy ride. Also if the spring is adjusted shorter than the shock, you will be riding on the shock and it will give you a bad ride as well.

It will take some time to adjust, and get in touch with these guys, they got good reviews on audizine:

I know they do al kind of aftermarket car mods...but call them first to see what they say. They can tell you right away if they can do anything for you.
