Default Suspension for fast road + a bit of POD & track action

My current drivers shock is now knackered after going down the last pot hole on are excellent uk rods.
I now need to get a new set as the old suspension is getting on a bit.
So as the topic Subject what is recommended?

I like the look for the Gaz kits and £500 is only £50 more than the konis.
How hard is it to setup all the Shocks?
