Avoid blacks. Get KYB Blacks if thats what you are after (budget)

Local factors. KYB's.
Maybe 2nd hand. I sold some healthy KOINI adjustables for 90ish. You get the idea.

Bilstein yellows or Cups are argualbly the best non adjustable shockers you can buy.
Thats why I chose them...

id say a few hundred aswell but if your going that much get some gaz coilovers off the group buy on here id say!!
IMO Bilstein are the best options if not going for coilovers
My xe was a lovely drive with a set on

I had bilstein blacks on the rear of one of my novas. I quite liked them tbh. They were alot more forgiving then the apex shocks I had on there. Each to their own I guess.
I went through 3 pairs of rear black billies and two pairs of fronts in about 3 months.
One set of rears started leaking when they only had the weight of the shell on them and the car hadn't moved lol
