Default Can I go with anything Smoother?

I'm currently on Echo Monroes all the way around and with Swift Springs, ES front sway bushings and TRD rear sway. Oh and 16's 205/50/16 BFG sport

I thought this would make for a smooth ride, but, it's rougher than my wife's stock xb.

I've searched
and found that my combo should be smooth running BUT it's really not. Better than my old TRD's though which almost made my teeth fall out.
Are Eibach's any good

Ditch the Monroe's for Koni Yellows and get the complete Energy bushing kit, Sounds stupid but the bushings made the ride more comfortable and the Koni's are adjustable to your preference.

thanks

I was up all night looking over at coilovers which seem to give a harsh ride except the hks ones

I thought the Konis were rough even at the softest setting?

Would a koni eibach prokit combo be smoother than a monroe swift combo I have now?

To be honest Eibachs and Koni's is the combo I want. I can't say if its a smoother ride or not because Eibach is known for good handling and to achevie that, the ride will be a bit stiff. Swift is known to be a streetable spring, matched with a good adjustable shock the ride should be well balanced.
