I took a long drive today, where the roads are good, the stock ride is fine, where the freeway is not so good is where a bit softer shock would improve the comfort.

For what you are looking for, I’d say your car is overwheeled, rather than overshocked, try 17” or 16” wheels to increase the sidewall. Also tire brand/ model selection also affect ride comfort.
If you insist on changing shocks, have you looked into Koni FSD or now called Special Active dampers? It automatically adjusts dampening force under high or low load frequencies so ride over rough road is more forgiving. I used them on another car and liked it a lot, but I’m happy with Bilstein B8 shocks and H&R lowering springs on my 986 even on horrible Michigan road.
