I think the kyb sr special shocks are the best shocks you can buy for the ep if you combine them with the correct springs. Much better than coilovers
Any comment about the comfort side of things I guess you cant have everything . Rosso above seems not too keen on the krb sr specials comfort but does not say what springs he is using.
Or if funds allows, you can always go for coilovers such as the Zeta-R.
That way you can have some adjustments over the ride quality.
