spring struct qustion

recently I had switch back to stock spring & struct, the car gave me a weir feeling that the spring struct assembly was not sturdy / loose feeling when the car go over bumpy road. I am pretty sure not the stabelizebar link b/c I just put a new one in while ago.
Is that possible the stock struct wear out? b4 the installation I had push the struct piston down, the resistance felt like illuminas set on 2, but the different is it push back up 2x slower than tokico, is it the way stock struct design? or might be some other parts worn out?
I have no clue right now and I hate this kind of driven experience, made my car felt like a 20 years old junk, and yes I am picky guy on comfort.

by reading the old thread, possibly could be
1. strut mount
2. engine mount
3. bad strut

damm.....I don't feel like taken it apart and put other strut on it to confirm it.

I had illuminas set on 2 with stock spring for a while and I like it, little firmer ride but still retain the comfort.
