Default Most comfortable shocks for daily driving?

Which shock/spring setup would be the most suitable for day-to-day driving comfort (stock-like ride). I'm tired of the harsh ride that the kyb agx/sportline combination give me and right now I want something keeps my car lowered at about 1.5-2 inches, without having my car bounce for every little bump in the road.

OEM shocks with Tein S-Tech springs. It should be good for a "close to stock" feel with the slightly lowered stance.

Thats what im running and I admit that sometimes I go a little to fast through the dips and bottom out. So far I have about 6,000 miles on the teins and my stock shocks have around 130,000 unless they were changed by a previous owner wich I doubt.

From my reasearch the teins also have the lowest spring rates and they also have a luxury spring thats even softer but dosent offer the same drop.

thanks for your input bro, do you think the kyb gr2 shocks will last a long time paired with the tein stech springs? Keep in mind, that I don't race or autox, just looking for something with comfort and a clean dropped look.
