Datsun 1200 used tradional shock absorbers in the rear suspension (the front used a McPherson strut). Shocks differ between coupe, sedan and wagon (van). Kayaba (KYB) and Tokico are the factory rear shock brands, so they are good. These came in a black tube. Bilstein and KONI are considered the best mass-market shocks, while Boge and KYB are considered a quality shock. Oil shocks are recommended for street use. KONI classic/special is recommended for street and track.

Adjustable Shocks

See discussion: Where can you get replacement strut inserts?

KONIs are rebound damping adjustable only, so get the correct damping to start with.

KONI can rebuild most KONI shocks, so if you find a used pair or even worn out part of adjustables, call KONI to see if they can be rebuilt. The new name is "classic" or "Special-D".

KONI are twin-tube, oil filled shocks. All the control of regular gas shocks, but without the extra harsh ride that gas shocks cause.

See KONI web site:
