Just got new tokico/eibach installed, seems SOFT

So tokico agreed to replace my struts under warranty since one was leaking (and it was a 6 week NIGHTMARE), but I finally got the new struts put on along with new eibach springs (same combo I was running before), and things seem very SOFT. It's not bouncy like the suspension is blown, but it just feels a lot more floaty than I remember. I had a brand new tokico/eibach setup about 4.5 years ago, and I remember it being way stiffer. Tokico says the struts are brand new and the valve design hasnt changed. Also the new ones aren't leaking or visibly damaged. Any ideas what could be causing this?? I'm very disappointed after spending all this time and money

Tokico blue's aren't my favorite. The struts are thin. If you are able, pick up a set of the TRD struts and springs. Both springs and shocks are MUCH beefier. I think I have a photo on my cardomain page comparing the rear tokico blue and intrax springs combo to the TRD struts/springs combo.
