The KYB's are inexpensive but tend to provide a somewhat stiff ride. We tend to prefer the Sach/Boge OEM replacements, linked below, as a better compromise between handling and comfort, for not a lot more money. Despite their name the KYB Gas-Adjust shocks are not actually adjustable. The Koni's are, and are also linked below. This might be a good time to replace your old rusty bolts, too ... linked below.
