KYB GR-2 or Tokico HP Blue

Seems like these two are the cheapest solutions. Right now I'm riding on 2008 350Z Shock & Struts. They have about 90,000 miles on them and are basically done for. I'm looking to get into a more comfortable and smooth ride than what they provided. Being the dumbass that I am I threw away my OEM suspension so I no longer have the OEM springs. However, luckily for me I still have TEIN H-Techs for the G35. Which of these two struts do you think have the more comfortable ride?

Tokico makes to specific HP shocks that you can use.

350Z fitment
G35 fitment

Get the G35 Tokico HP's

I would avoid the GR-2, every time I have seen owner comments from owners that have them on their G35/350Z, the comments were not positive. Several G35 owners with Tokico HP fitment have complained as well. Never seen G35 owners with G35 HP's complain.

Tokico D-specs set a 3 up from full soft would also work well, but cost twice as much.

I'm probably going to go with the Tokico G35 HP's then, I hope they aren't too stiff.

My 09 g37 sedan comes stock with Tokico shocks. The ride isn't too firm at all. I'd actually like to upgrade mine to stiffer shocks.
