I replaced my originals with Boge Automatics at the front and KYB shocks at the rear. I would get KYBs all around except that KYB does not offer the struts.

I have about 80k miles on the KYBs and 20k miles on the Boge struts and am very happy with the result. Good ride and handling. The KYBs shocks went on early in the vehicle's life to replace leaking original shocks. They really improved the rear suspension performance, which IMO is a weak spot of the factory version.
