KYB GR-2 Gas Shocks
I use KYB GR-2 gas shocks on every vehicle I can.
KYB gas shocks come with a lifetime warranty and provide a good consistent ride. I have installed them on 3/4 ton vans, light trucks, VW bugs, the 78 Vette. Been using them for the past 25 years without a single problem, leak or replacement needed.
Most KYB shocks are made in Japan with a few coming from Mexico. Either way, they perform great and are a fantastic bargain ... about $30 per shock.
You can spend more $$$ for other shocks but with KYBs available at almost any auto store, there is really no reason to waste money unless you really want to. With the KYB GR-2's, the Vette rides firm but not harsh, corners and handles well. Every alignment guy I know uses KYB's on their vehicles.
Try the KYB GR-2's. You'll be very happy you did.
