Thanks for Posting,
However, are there any After Market Shock Absorbers - that are adjustable and are better (in terms of comfort, ground clearance,..)  than the stock Perodua Shocks ?

Stock=best comfort full stop.
If you need to carry heavy weight in the back often, you need to upgrade your springs.

Example is the old Saga BLM taxi. The taxi version has beefier springs than the normal car, you can see the taxis have higher ground clearance at the back. You can try the same if you want but I'd keep it stock all the way for max comfort.

When I still had my Saga FLX SE, I have tried both Toyo TR1 & Yokohama Advan fleva V701.

I would say TR1 is the better tire. I have not tried Potenza RE004, but based on forumer's review, it is excellent on dry roads, not so much on wet roads.

Another tire worth considering is Maxxis Victra I-Pro. Best bang for buck tire in the entry level performance category.

Stock tire size should be 225/55R19 for 19 inch & 225/60R18 for 18 inch.

Downsizing rims would give you enhanced comfort, at the expense of road handling performance.

Could be cheaper as well.

I drive normally. 60% highway 40% city driving.

I prefer a mix between comfort and appropriately long mileage.
