I (and many other SAUers) own and recommend Bilstein shocks.

You could also go for other well-known brands like HKS, TEIN and Cusco.

Note with any overseas made shocks, you should pair them with Aussie springs (like King Springs) to suit our crap quality roads.

In the interest of balance, koni's are every bit as good as bilsteins:

I've used both, road and race, car and motorcycle. Properly set up they are equal. Personally I'd recommend looking at Bilstein's or Koni's over the 'name brand' Japanese suspension.

Sorry SteveL, but they are not. I use Konis on lots of cars, I like them very much. But not on Skylines, since they are not sold in Europe, Koni use Japanese recommended valving. This simply does not work as well as the Bilstein valving in our conditions. I am not the only one with this opinion, check around the guys that have tried both.

You assume that I haven't....I've found that in virtually every case there's been other explanations (eg poor spring choice). Indeed I've found the same with Bilsteins. As I said.....'properly set up......'.
