Default Which setup is smoother?

Bilstein HD or Tokico D-Spec shocks? I drive my car on 700 mile round trip drives every 2 weeks and desperately need new shocks. Part of me wants to say the hell with both and get the S-tune setup by NISMO. My goal is to keep the stock height with improved comfort. Also, what bushings shoulda replace? Iam nearing 100K miles.

Any advise?

If you want to play around and adjust your shocks get the D-Specs. If you just want a good factory replacement and not worry about settings go with the Bilstein. The Nismo S-Tune is not going to give you more comfort than your factory setup. I've also heard the Tokico Blues are good for a daily driver looking for comfort. They're cheaper also.

Agreed. Bilsteins would make a good OEM replacement, D-specs allow for a bit more adjustability.
