You get what you pay for.
I had tokico shocks in my Pulsar GTi-R. May aswell have had a solid bar as shocks. But thats not to say the rates for MPS isn't more suitable.
Monroe once was really good, but they are now basically just OEM replacements.
Pedders in my experience, you can get them in 3 hardness', hard, too hard, and solid.
Bilstein has been tried and tested worldwide numerous time and been found to be about the best shock you can get.
I had Koni FSD on my MPS 3. Loved them, but i'm not sure you can actually get them for MPS 6. And no point ringing Koni australia and asking. They are useless.
