Maybe both but I think oem passive dampers are the main issue. Std passive dampers are a low-rent budget product with limited effectiveness, even with stock springs.

Drive a pre-LCI at anything over 6/10ths and the mediocre passive damping soon shows. Fit lower springs [any brand TBH] means shorter travel so limited stroke reduces the damping effectiveness even more.

I ran H&R sport springs on adaptive with stock bumpstops. Despite being lower than eibachs, they worked very well. Adaptive dampers have their limitations but IMHO they're better behaved than passive, if fitting lower springs.
