If it's bouncing then it sounds lke there's not any oil or it is too thin. Bottoming out also can be corrected with oil or thicker oil.

I would try a differant internal dampner with a smaller hole or less holes which will restrict oil flow and a stiffer spring before I dumped money on a new set of shocks that might give you the same problem if not set up properly.

Are the threaded shocks any good? You can adjust them without the "collars". I might give them a try someday.
