The best would be AST, Motion Control Suspension, Moton, or JRZ. It seems the same Dutch guys move around at all of these companies, so they are pretty much the same IMHO.

Technically they are all "struts" rather than shocks on P-cars. One big difference is the diameter of the chrome shaft sticking out the top. The high end struts will have a shaft that barely fits into the lower sleeve. This is an advantage as the strut positions the wheel on a McPherson / Chapman strut design. I don't think the PSS9's "measure up" in this, or other ways.
