I put Boge's on the front of mine, as I've always liked their shocks.
They are stiff; no need for anything stiffer here in PA, believe me!
Have about 25k on them with no problems. 
My car showed up with Bilsteins on the rear...I'd never spend the money
they want for them, but whatthehey, they were free. No
complaints/compliments. They just do their job. I think the turbogas
Boges are stiffer though.
Curious myself as to spring availability/critiques...
