is tuned to the front and is (or was) available in either standard or sport guise. IIRC, the Gary Fisher was standard suspension, self leveling, with 17" wheels. The front shocks (struts) are standard and might just as well be replaced with OE Sachs, which seem to hold up well and perform OK. I would keep the self leveling as it solves the one greatest problem with the 9-5 rear suspension - sagging springs that increase camber and consequentially uneven tire wear.
Note that the rear springs are designed to work in conjunction with the self leveling shocks, so if you replace them with standard rear shocks, you need to also replace the springs.
