If you intend to get performance and comfort at the same condition,its very hard.
Either you sacrifice Comfort or Performance.
If you looking for
Comfort= Standard OEM spring,Aftermarket Replacement OEM absorber.
Semi Comfort= Sport Lowered Coil,Aftermarket Replacement OEM absorber.
Semi Performance= Sport Lowered Coil,Aftermarket Short Stroke Absorber
Hard Performance= Adjustable.Either High-Low or High-Low-Soft-Hard for flexible all road condition tuning.
If deep pocket doesnt allow you much,get a set from Sapura Proride and APM absorber.Why Sapura ? I believe Sapura is Malaysia and APM been RND absorber for Malaysia road condition.
Most of imported like Tein(thus now they have Malaysia based abs),Ohlins,Blistein,Showa,D1 etc.... follow only their country road condition.By that,the operating weather condition and rebound rate are totally different.Thats why you bump saying "Tein is the hardest absorber ever".So you know which spec is belong to which.
Im not really GAB fan.As i know GAB company closed long time ago.
those are ur definitions, it doesnt reflect the whole market anywhere..Either you sacrifice Comfort or Performance.

for example, it is not wise to pair lowered spring with oem shocks due to the lowered height of the spring.. u gona kill the shocks ASAP

Hmmm, pairing the wrong set of absorber/spring combination will only shorten your absorber life span, sport absorbers are short stroke, OEM are long stroke. They work best if paired in the right combination.
