I am looking to replace my front and rear shocks, Nissan wants R2500 for the front each and R1700 each for the rear.
All the performance guys just want to sell me coil-over kits for R9000+ and thats not really my first option.
Any suggestions?

I never realised how bad my front standard Nissan shocks where until I replaced the rears with KYB's from CRS Pitstop... expensive, but the WHOW factor is still good 1 year later.

Thanks for the help, my pocket has taken a beatingin the last couple of months. I guess thats what happens when you restore a SX.

also look up 'kapico' or is that kupico? (maar try variations) in the yellow pages. Thy are KYB agents, so you can get those - not nearly as expensive as the OEM units (and prolly better ride quality)
