What shocks is everyone fitting?

As title, is there a 'most popular' brand amongst Velocity/Viento owners? I really really REALLY am going to buy a set this year, and don't want to purchase some, only to find I've just shelled out my hard-earned on the suspension equivalent of an MFI wardrobe (looks great for 5 minutes then drops to bits). Is there a mroe popular spring diameter?
Answers on a reply post please

I bought GAS shocks and they seem very well made but as I am still building them I cannot vouch for their behaviour in action. The company seemed very supportive though and they were good value too.

If you are looking to keep the car for a month or so and not drive it, then buy Gaz

If not, buy AVO.

OK, AVOs sound good for long-term ownership. Would the AVO buywers mind letting on where they got 'em and how much they paid please?
