i am really lost right now from the comments i see.

okay so are adjustable coilovers comfortable more than just the normal struts with the oem shocks ?
if so give me a good brand name that someone really tried not heard of .

Adjustable coilovers are not necessarily more comfortable than stock. Most of them will be harder than the cushy ride OEM shocks provide on the 2GS but that's not to say its uncomfortable. Basically what it comes down to is your comfort tolerance. Are you willing to give up some comfort for better handling? As far as good brands of coilovers I would say Tein, BC Racing, and Megan racing. If you want OEM replacement shocks for less buy KYB excel G shocks but you'll need to take apart your old shocks and rebuild them or have someone do it for you. Also the cheaper coilovers won't last as long as shocks before they start clunking and making noise in my experience.
