Problem with suspension

After a few month of riding on Stock springs and Tokico "Blues" I switched back to H&R and kept the same struts. My ride is becoming really harch and uncomfortable so I am thinking that maybe 19,000 miles is enough to make these struts go bad specially the rear ones.
So I was wondering if the GR2's are better than the illuminas in terms of comfort. If so where can I purchase them?.
By the way the reason I switched back to H&R is that I was having a terrible time with the car's LSD at higher RPMs. Also I was thinking about getting some new wheels probably 18" and I can see my having trouble down the road with the current drop. If you think of better springs, better shocks please let me know as long there are not Eibachs which by the way a brand new set is still sitting in my basement.

Help!

Nothing wrong with 18s and H&Rs.

I haven't had any experience with GR2s yet but here's my conclusion on having both Tokico blues and Illuminas.

There are a lot of road flaws around here. Even with the softest setting on illuminas, still not as soft as Blues. Some people like firm ride. I like soft ride. GR2s are compared w/ blues.
