Either put the stockers back on or go buy an ES350.....

I agree, the discussion is useful.

Makes me wonder if something is wrong with your installation. We did have a F-sport spring user here that complained of a harsh ride. He went back to the dealer that installed them and something was defective, if I remember it was a binding shock or something.

The Eibach 250's are considerably lower than the Eibach 350 springs. Do you think they are significantly stiffer impacting ride quality?

No that's just a stereotype. I've seen AMG do it on certain Mercedes cars.

honestly... my tein s-techs felt BETTEr then the stockl isx50 sport pgk springs i had...
nice and soft when cruising normally.. but if u wanted to take a turn hard they stiffen up and provide nice support and not even bouncey at all... i recommend s-techs for ppl who dont wanna go the coilover route

i have the eibach 250's on my car and i love them, very similar to stock but improves handling, i was honestly expecting harsh, but i didnt get that
. u just gotta give some things up when lower a car. and if you slam dont complain about camber wear.

btw the drop is way better on 250 srpings compared to 350 springs!

I'm wondering if tire selection is impacting ride quality for some. I'm using Toyo T1R's with good results (19").

maybe, if they have a stiffer side walled tire on 19's that will definetly hurt ride quality

Yes along those lines, some brands/types of tires are more comfy that others.
