Default Tanabe Lowering Springs

So I bought a set of tanabes from another member here and just had them installed yesterday. The ride is quite bouncy and I only have 35k miles on the car.
I don't get why the ride sucks, my concern is the struts are bad but at the same time when I was stock height the ride was nice and smooth.
While the car was in the air I did notice that two of the struts were replace as they had a KYB sticker on them and the other two OEM.
I bought the car CPO at 30k miles and kind of concerned why such a low like car had only two struts replaced.
The car is a 2014 gs350 f sport, any ideas would be helpful as I feel my only next option is to go to a coilovers setup.

Maybe the previous owner had it lowered and had to replace the struts because of that?

Well, maybe but looking on KYB's website a replacement doesnt even exist. I will need to get back under the car and get the model of the strut and look it up to see which vehicle its for.

I will be installing my springs next week, I have a little over 20k so I will let you know if I experience the same issue.
I hope I don't have to many issues.
