Default Need shock advice....

So my GS now has 210K miles and the KYB's I put on over 100K ago are noisy and jarring. I have Eibach springs, 1" and 1.25", so I was wondering which shocks would give me most comfortable ride if I leave springs on. Should I go OEM or Bilstein HD or Sport?

Most driving is 70/30 City/Hwy and performance is less of an issue. Also, should I replace all suspension links with poly ones as car is squeaking every time is compresses over a bump? Thanks.

Yes its a high pitched squeak and definitely in the front. Verizon noticeable when going slow over speed bumps. Does that sound like them?

I have all 4 brand new Bilstein Sports I was going to use for air setup still in boxes. PM me if you are interested. I have ridden on a different set with tananbe springs I believe and it was more aggressive but still very subtle compared to many coilovers
