Tockico HP or GXE OEM,which is softer?

Need to know this once and for all.I can get a full set of GXE struts from Nissan cheaper than a set of Tockico blues.(i have a friend at Nissan).Which struts make a softer ride?I dont want that stiff ride,i dont care about handling,just a nice ride.

on stock? I'm not sure but I'm thinking Tokicos because it's an upgrade from stock. But if you're riding on stock springs, then stock shocks should be good enough.

The Tokicos, while slightly stiffer than OEM will provide a better (smoother) ride.

This is becuase the firmer rebound damping will reduce the floaty feel of the stock dampers. Instead of bouncing up and down more than once over dips in the road, they will compress and come back up once, with no bounce.

This reduced bouncing will result in a smoother feeling ride.
