Best brand of shocks - What would be the best?
I'm thinking of getting new shocks for the 'Stina SP (it's a BG) I'm thinking of getting Konis or Bilsteins but what would be another alternative to those two?
Any help would be great

Try KYB's. Ask Astroboy for a price in the traders section under gsl rally sport. Tokico's are also a good one.

Koni Yellows from memory are $500+ per corner and Bilsteins make them look cheap. If you're looking at that kind of budget also consider DMS coilovers, I think though DMS start at $4000ish if they make them for your car, Astro can give you more detail.

Meh, the last Koni I bought were in July '03.
Senility + booze = forget I do remember though they controlled the King springs very well.

Thanks for all your help guys, you've given me range of good shocks, really keen on the Konis though
