Looking to change from my Jamex shocks for something a bit better.I have had the Bilstein B10 kit and was great until i had 3 rear shocks replaced due to knocking noise (loss of gas)

What would you recommend? im currently using Apex -60mm springs.

There alright but rears creak a little bit over bad bumps,seems to be a common fault with them as there was a post in the helpzone section with a few with the same problem,most people will just live with it and turn the music up.
