Well there is the issue. There is no such thing as having comfort without losing some performance and when it truly gets down to the nitty gritty there is no one size fits all. This is why top level race suspensions of any kind still have dials. Not every course is the same, the rougher it is the softer the suspensions needs to be (to a point). In the off road bike world with conventional monotubes it's not uncommon for pro riders to show up without about 5-6 different valved shocks because they vary so widely. On road course they change springs rates and try to have a wide enough damper range to adjust.

So really without some adjustable damper you will always compromise in one area or another.

I would say wait for a powertrix sale on the SS w swift and pick up a set. At first I found them a little stiffer than I wanted but I have either adapted or they have settled in a little bit now I find them very nice on street (just did a nor cal to so cal trip & even better than last trip with oem) and awesome on track. Car will be very firm and "tight" but not harsh.

Also they go to oem height (can even go higher in front) and that was a big concern for me, done with scraping cars oem height is low enough to already worry about some driveways.
