Default S2 Dampers & Springs

Hi guys, I'm wanting to replace the dampers and springs on the RS in the past I've used Konis Apex etc but is there any readily available these days that people can recommend? Car is used only on roads so don't want coilovers or rock hard suspension, oe dampers and -20mm springs I'm thinking.
Are the kyb dampers any good?

Barely anybody makes anything for the Mk4 escort anymore
Koni stopped in like 2017!
Think its basically AVO (IIRC rears are adjustable dampers, fronts are coilovers) or GAZ (full coilovers) these days
