What would the optimum shockers be for a warm road car as a nearly daily driver. Don't what to spend top dollar - just optimum response/$
Definately need new fronts - have new basic standard on the back - if you can convince me otherwise I may replace those as well.

ive heard good things about KYB and was thinking of putting them on mine but ive seen BOGE cheap as chips in the uk (less than half the price and it wouldnt be that much to send) - apparently kyb and boge are the same, just different packaging

I went to buy KYB's from Karcraft a while ago, and they offered the BOGE shocks for about half the price and they've been absolutely fine. I've got them on my van with new cones and HI-LO's everywhere and it's the best riding dry-suspended Mini I've ever owned.

David,
I put KYB Gas all round on my Corolla Rally car (shocks rear, front struts)and they never let me down, were reasonably priced and more importantly worked well.
I'm intending to put them on my Mini resto.
Regards
Brian
