Spring/Shock-Strut Combo

I'm looking for advice please. I did a quick search, you could spend a couple hours on here. I currently have Moog replacement springs for 'GTA, and KYB GR2's front, Gas-a-just in rears. When I got everything a couple years ago I loved how tight it was. Now with only @40,000 KM on them, I think I'm getting very old, my taste is changing. I know these are sports cars and I like the tightness, but I want to lower my car and MOST IMPORTANTLY, improve ride quality. If I sacrafice some tightness in handling, that's worth it to me. I was told Eibachs offer the best ride of all lowering springs out there, so I was going to go with the Pro kit and the KYB AGX's all around, but I was told go with Koni Reds for the best ride. Anybody have those to atest, or anything else, Tokico,etc. Please keep in mind, I'm looking for the smoothest ride I can get with 1' lowering springs. Any help would be appreciated, I don't want to start collecting springs/shocks. Thanks.

Ebiach and koni seem to be the favs. Getting an adjustable shock is good that one morning you can set it soft for a nice cruise with females, then later that night you can adjust them go play with the boys.

I noticed that toxicos or any other shock is not much lesser in price then konis, so might as well spend the extra 50-100 and get "the best".
