Icon6 Best shocks for OEM replacement??

Hi,

First of all, i am from Brazil, so donīt worry my english mistakes!

I have a 95 Civic 3D Hatch D16z6

I want to know with your experience, wich one are the better suspension shocks for OEM replacement?

I am using KYB GR2, but I donīt like it, i think it is too hard for the urban/street use, i would like shocks soft like the OEM to uso with 100% OEM suspension without lowering springs!

Can you help me?

My tires are 195-55-15" (ek4 wheels), so maybe if i use 14" with 185-60-14 it would be better!

I know that kyb gr2 are oem replacement... but i think that it is like 2007 New Civic Si (K20) that even being oem shocks, they are harder than some other oem shocks due a sport car! Maybe the 92-95 sedan 4D OEM shocks would be softer than kyb gr2!

Thank you!
