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...

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
