Should I buy new Santro shocks or kabli?

[amirfarooq1]

I am going to overhaul my santro's suspension, as its not that much worn out but still it requires some fixing.

The major concern is shock, as I am pretty confused in reading all old threads about santro's suspension and I cannot give a score to any one whether it must be kabli or new korean ones. Investment is not a problem, but all I need a good suggestion that which type would work long and last years to come.

Please suggest me how should I go for it. I heard so many statements, the one so called that kabli is gamble and new ones are better, on the other side I heard that kabli is better than korean ones if worked hard to find which is best. But trust me , this is pakistan, and finding the unimpaired or untouched kabli pieces is once in a blue moon,

Please guys help me out.

Thanks guys, The new ones got the good score as I read all replies, and yes it is proved that way:

I got the new rear ones of Gabriel from agri auto and tried the front ones as kabli. The same thing happens as discussed above by most of the friends. Front kablis are as bad as hell and made no difference. Rear ones are great.

As kablis cost me 4000 but it does not matter at least I wanted them to give try. So going to try the new one Gabriel shocks, let see what happens. I will share my experience after a couple of days.
