I believe its the rubber cones that generally cause the bumpiness. I have heard decent coilovers that have been properly set up give a modern modern smooth ride, as do the spring conversion shocks.

Might want to invest in some Smootha Ride cones, you'll need adjustable trumpets for the front though.

Do the shockers first.

That bouncy feeling is just a byproduct of the mini's awesome sticking power to a fair degree - you can't have it all.
