I was wondering other's experience with koni's and either Eibach or stock springs and what shock firmness worked for them to get a decent ride quality.
Debating on doing some sort of change in the near future (either back to stock springs or just to bilsteins/stock) if adjusting firmness wont address this..
Are you sure that they're set at full soft? I have the GTS set at full soft with Eibachs and I dont think my ride is like you describe. Just FYI, last time I checked the factory default is full soft.

What is "janky" anyway? I think the ride is different with the Eibachs, but not inferior.

I think I get a better feel for what the weissach axle is doing with the Eibachs, and I like that. It seems to me that I can move the GTS through corners better than before since the rear turns easier then stiffens as the Eibach springs compress to limit that movement.

I have my '89 set at medium with stock springs. Compared to the GTS, it can be bone-jarring. Not really, but in comparison.

I have the Stepson set at medium with stock springs. I also have a DR front swaybar. I don't notice the ride being as stiff as the '89, but that could be a function of the '84 Euro. It corners very flat and is a beast in curves.
