Special to the model.

As 7 says they are specials but there a number of aftermarket (better) alternatives:

AVO
GAZ
Protech

If you're thinking of upgrading, I'd definitely recommend getting adjustable platforms at the back.

why the recomendation for adjustables at the back 7 ?

Just finished redoing all my front bushings with Poly, new big brake kit with aluminum 4 pots from Keri Purves, Steve Heath's sway bar mod and new ball joints, tie rods and front springs. 4 new Gaz shocks. I must say that it is now as tight as a Frogs As* (no offense to our friends from across the channel). The Gaz are very easy to adjust with a knob on the shock body, rear platform is adjustable to get the ride height right. Keri's brake kit is a huge improvement over the marginal factory setup, and the poly bushings made all the rattles go away. I further lightened the car with the outlay from my wallet but overall the car now handles as it should.
