Anyone have AC Schnitzer front springs installed with rear air?

Installed these about a year ago and have been noticing more and more how bouncy the front end is. I travel a 24 mile bridge a few times a month and the ride is pretty bad in comfort mode. Sport mode tightens things up a bit but becomes more harsh. I'm wondering if it would be worth it to pull them off and try the eibachs

They're basically rebranded eibach though

How many miles on the shocks, any chance they are the issue?

I have that setup, 39k miles and 4 years, don't notice anything wrong.

I have 60k+ on mine (with VTF and rear air).
Still seems ok, but I have planned to talk to my local dealer tech one of these days, and ask what the estimated life span/mileage is for the stock shocks.
I might just be imagining it, but I'm thinking front end feels softer than when I got her.
Might go for the Bilstein B6's instead, when my shocks are ready to be replaced. That or KW3's...

I guess I hadn't thought about the shocks possibly being the culprit. My Aviator has 160k on it and still has the original shocks. Still rides extremely well for a 14 year old vehicle. Maybe it's time to start researching replacement shocks for the X5.
