Doh-dohs Black extra hard bushings will help. I'm over 200 lbs and have to have hard bushings. You won't be able to carve a bowl with those bushings but it sounds like you may have some practice to go until then anyway.
​
Start with Doh-Doh Black Extra hard Then once those are comfortable switch to bones hard bushings. That's what I currently skate and can easily carve a bowl with them.
​
Don't give up! It's so fun and so rewarding and easily the best workout I have ever had.

They are probably more stable, because like me, you've loosen the bushings to the point that they're not making full contact in the turns. The only thing to do is try it out. But you can't have both carvy while being stable at high speeds. Those offset each other. I put these on mine:

it didn't make it any more carvy than loosening the old bushings, but it did make it a little smoother when I transition on and off a carve. But those are hard, when I tried putting Meds on it got more carvy, but it wasn't as stable at high speed.
But being stable at high speed has a lot to do with experience too. When I started out going over 12mph would give me speed wobbles on any bushing or setup. Tightening the trucks got me to higher speeds, but I could barely turn it. Eventually I learned how to go faster on a carvy setup. But I'm still no pro.
Just pointing out, generally speaking, the easier a board is to turn, the more sensitive it will be at higher speeds, that's just physics, Your car doesn't suffer nearly as much and that's because your car doesn't shift it's weight to turn or have back wheels that also turn. So I'd say for a longboard go for a Med or Hard bushing (the wider deck of a longboard gives you more leverage so you don't need it to be as soft in the bushings compared to something like a penny board).
If you also do your research you'll find too that using the tubes vs cones, changes the characteristics too. (I've got 2 hard cone bushings on mine, which will handle different than 2 med tube bushings) And some people run a cone and tube. You need to ride them to figure out what works for you. But if you're not as experienced, I'd avoid the soft stuff.
