If your AU is over the magic 100,000k mark the shocks are stooofed !
Majority of shocks are on the decline of working correctly from 70000k's.
Ofcourse she will perform much better with renewed suspension but the mix is all important.
You want handling but still a cushy ride when the g/f is in the car, the perfect comprimise is hard to find.
Most aftermarket coils are up to 25% firmer than standard
Then add Larger sway bars to the firmness
Poly Urethane bushes add again
Then the shocks.

I have run many combinations in my AU, never again am I going to use urethane.
Get the low coils and konis and you will already get 100% improvement in handling.
If you require more then go the sway bars.
