Best Shocks for Street/Super soft, Wanna feel like riding on Butter

Yes I have done a Search, But I really want a first hand opinion from Actually owners
Im looking for a Set of shocks that will achieve the type of Smooth ride I need for Shitty
Roads here in the south, Im talking like Busted Asphalt and huge Potholes Everywhere,


Can anyone recommend Some shocks Adjustable/non-adjustable, Simply for Street driving, With absolutely no emphasize on performance?
Im on the 19" rays, I know that doesnt help

Are Tokico D-Specs my only option for the softest Shocks available?

Thx guys

There's one shock that's the perfect replacement for OE shocks...KYBs! Not expensive and they're exactly what you need for a comfortable ride...Gary

So My story is, That I actually replaced my Shocks about 5 months ago with Some KYB Excel-g, OEM sports suspension, And it rides like S*** Every little bump is magnified, I ordered them online after reading some reviews here about them being a decent street ride Maybe I could of gotten the Non SportSuspension shocks. But still, I want something smoother> Any Ideas

I have D-specs and I probably have worse roads than you since I live in Italy. I'm willing to bet on it.

I've used them with aftermarket and stock z-springs (with revised spring rates) and I feel it isn't too much softer than oem on full soft but that may be due to the stiff sidewall tires on my OEM 19's.

You'd probably see a big difference with 17" rims and comfort tires. The bigger sidewall will soak small impacts and imperfections in the road better than 19" tires.

He shipped his car over.. Lol. But his point is true, a larger sidewall will do you wonders, and a nicer tire will do you even better. In the summer I ride on rails and in the winter it's on air (tire choice, winter is flexi, summer is stiff)
