Do Eibach's have the pogo effect that H&R's do?

I don't notice it either. It's a little stiff but not too rough.

Eibach remind me of Audi suspension; low enough to not look like you have waders on and stiff enough to feel somewhat planted.
H&R is the straight track ride; it's low to ground, stiff as hell, and will pogo on heavy bumps at speed.
IMO, the H&R stiff is worth the pogo. I took a sharp curve off turnpike at 65mph and my wheels held thanks to minimal suspension flex. I tried this with stock once and my car rolled heavy outside the corner and started drifting me out of my line. That should help you understand middle region that Eibach sits in.

As someone else rocking H&R's, I felt the need to chime in about the so-called "pogo effect" I've seen people talking about. Now, I believe the MKS is set up to have a softer ride from the factory, so that may also be playing a role, but this pogo effect I've seen mentioned here only happens to me in pretty unusual circumstances, like if there's a significant bump in the road that I take at 50+ MPH, and that usually only happens if I don't spot it in time. Otherwise I find the H&R ride to be perfect for what I desire - it's smooth, compliant and firm but comfortable. I can easily haul five adults in the vehicle without any major suspension issues, that is with an empty trunk so that's the one potential wild card but unless we were loading it up with bags of sand or something really heavy I think it would be just fine. I kick around the same general area as bpd1151 too, and I'm sure he'd agree that the roads around here are far from great. Overall, I love the look and the performance I get out of the H&R's.
