GE 08-13 Replace shocks options?

Hello fellow GE8 Fit owners,

Hope you have been enjoying your Fit as much as me!

So the time has come at 140k miles to replace the shocks - rear need it most, reckon I will do front and rear.

The best I can find at the moment is Gabriel Ultra (Rockauto). Are there better options? Rarely autocross my Fit anymore, found another hobby (though I going to try to start attending 1 autox a year to keep my skills from getting too rusty).

Money matters so coil overs are out and other expensive options. What have you replaced your shocks with and are you pleased with the results?

Thanks in advance!

Koni STR.T shocks + H&R springs from TireRack. Camber bolts. Progress rear sway bar.

If Tein still had their street coilovers they would have been a good option. I think they were like $700.
