strut help

I can feel every bump in the road. so I am going to replace the shocks and struts. I just bought kyb gr-2's for the rear. should I also go wiht gr-2's with the front as well. Im really just looking for the most comfortable ride I can get. I know bilsteins are good but I have heard there only good for handling.

Original Equipment. Yours, if OE, would be 20 years old or so.

Re: strut help

so do you suggest any strut that will provide a more comfortable ride. my auto store only has the gr-2s and gas-adjusts by KYB.

If you've already put the Gr's on the rear, you might as well do the struts as well. If you're simply searching for a more comfortable ride, I'd suggest those will do the job.
