Most likely Boge. Is the front strut housing black or red?

The rear shocks are koni orange color, the front could not be easily identified from the floor, but they appear black in color..
maybe the better question would be what Is the appropriate shock for street use, (no track).

I have the Bilstein HD and they are great for the street. You're going to have to drop the strut to see what you have inside.

Black front strut will indicate Boge which is the most likely. Boge housings will accept Koni or Bilstein inserts among others. Several options with Koni....twin tube standard adjustable hydraulic or you can use the later style twin tube low pressure gas inserts that are externally adjustable for rebound.
