I would put it into the hands of a good independent shop and ask them to advise, unlikely you'll guess right.

I've put in more than one set of shocks in my days. I'm 50. I've owned 30+ cars and I tend to do most of my own maintenance and modifications.
This car has always been garaged, has only 34K miles, and was exceptionally well maintained. I have all the records. The previous owner changed the oil every 4 months, even though it only got driven 1x week just to have driven it. All my bushings look and feel relatively fresh. There is no metal to metal feel, like a failed engine mount. The car feels tight, no rattles, no buzzes, nothing loose, just over shocked. I don't know why people think the shocks need to be so stiff for good handling, because they don't....unless you are going 10/10 over sharp bumps in a race for your life, I would prefer softer shocks.
When is the last time your or anyone else's tires hopped from too soft a shock in a high G corner anyway?
I'm just wanting a bit softer ride. I'm not looking for a ride like any of my 4 Jaguars. I know this is a pure sports car, but the stiffness of these shocks is way, way into diminishing returns territory.
