I had all the Nolathane taken out of mine. Not a fan of it.

Haven't tried all the above options, but I put all Pedders gear in, and I can't fault it.

Either K-Mac, or Pedders for the bush's. The problem with Nolathane is they split over time. And when they start to split, its all down hill fromt here. They crumble and fall apart.

Witht he shocks/struts, i would go for either KYB, Boges, or Pedders. Personal opinion, but i wouldnt use Munore if i had to pay for it.

^^^ Munroe are standard on alot of cars. For what they are, they are fine, but there is plenty better out there for the same price.

If money allows it, go for a set of Koni's.

I have had nolothane in mine for about 100000km and no problems. I supply and fit nolothane to different makes and models with no problems, i do this nearly everyday. I don't its all about how much money you can spend that makes a shock better quality!
monores have always done a good job in my cars. of course there is always something better out there but if your on a budget....
