Guys, I need to change my Kelisa's front and rear absorbers. I'm planning to get the normal OEM Kayaba shocks so which one of these is the best setup:

Front & rear using oil type, or
Front (oil) and rear (gas).

My opinion if you go with Kayaba, if not mistaken front only has oil type and rear both oil and gas. I find front oil, rear gas to be bad for handling. Too stiff at the back unless fully loaded. Doesn't feel balanced when passing a speed hump. Front and rear oil is better.

If you can spend a little more $ go for Maddriver's garage shocks. It is actually HWL red but with Maddriver's custom internals. Worth your investment: 1-year warranty, more comfortable (to me than stock springs than ori P2, Kayaba, Sachs, etc), better response and best of all serviceable. I changed many shocks over the years: P2 Kayaba, Kayaba aftermarket, Sachs, some local brands, etc. All doesn't last for me and my driving (kekeke). Not more than 2 years before it goes kaput (usually the front ones).
