Default suspension setup for maximum comfort?!

Lately my car has been bouncing around and it is getting kind of hard to control on the freeways. Probably time to replace the original shocks and springs. I am looking for maximum comfort so is OEM the best option?

If you're bouncing around, it means your OEM shocks are dying.
Your OEM springs will be fine.

If comfort is your priority and you're happy with the ride height, buy a set of KYB GR-2 shocks and call it a day.

Simple. Cheap. Easy.

OEM or equivilents are your best option for comfort, you just need the shocks.

i personally would look for some new tires if ride comfort is an issue. look into the michelin PE2's, they are worth some money for summer tires but the comfort is supposed to be way up there without sacrificing much, and actually outperforming most in the wet.
