I have always used Bilsteins and have been very happy. But my old Saab DD needs new ones and I am on a pocket lint budget. Anybody happy with less expensive dampers?

Sachs Super touring.
I've been very happy with KYB's when on a budget. In fact, IIRC, GRM wrote once "KYB's when on a budget and Koni's when ere not".
KYB Gas-a-just shocks are supposed to be pretty good, I don't care for the GR-2 product line though.
i buy in this order;
Sachs Super Touring when i'm on a budget.
KYB when it needs to be nice.
Bilstein if i'm in love.
I know people like them and have had good experiences etc, but i've had bad luck with koni's.
whatever you do, steer clear of tenneco/monroe

Tenneco? Never heard of them, are they related to Monroe or just another parts store brand? I've never been a huge fan of Monroe, but every time I've bought them they were replacing shocks so hideously blown that I'm pretty sure carving a solid rod out of a 2"x4" would have been an improvement. Kind of hard to gauge improvement when you don't have a proper baseline to start from.
tenneco is just the parent company of monroe
