Ok so if you want the smoothest ride possible keep your suspension stock.

unless your stockers are worn out...
something adjustable, like tokico illuminas, would be my choice...
or the konis, b/c i know they're adjustable as well...
that way you can adjust for your factory springs...

both konis and tokicos are great shocks. which ever shocks you get, you just need to specify that the smooth ride is the main concern.

also get the spring for that application too. eibachs are great for a smooth ride and a little agressive look

If by "smooth ride" you mean least bumpy ride everything everyone has names is not smoother than stock (besides those who named stock) even on adjustable shocks the softest setting is stiffer than OEM so your gonna feel road imperfections more.
