Need new shocks...help with Decision

I sorted through 8 pages using "Shocks" as a search keyword and didn't find what I'm looking for.

I have an 03' Sedan and need to replace my shocks. am not looking for any changes in my ride height and have stock springs. I would prefer a more comfortable ride so I really don't want anything stiff.

Should I just go with replacement factory shocks, or is there a better aftermarket product that would achive a soft ride.

you could go after market and get some adjustable dampening shocks ... and set them to the softest setting ... OEM parts will rip you a new one ... unless you have a connection

do you know which aftermarket brand would give me a similar "soft" ride...as in the soft ride that comes with all new G35's?

I saw Koni...but it seems like all the posts I read people set them to a stiffer setting for better handling.

try some d-specs by tokico. you can use the stock springs on them and
adjust dampness to your preference.

but the choppiness could be from your tires (high psi) or just the characteristic of your stock linear rate springs.

+1 The Tokico D-Specs would probably work out well for you
