Help with Shock Choices

Anyone have any recommendations for shock replacements on a 1990 Miata.
I’ve put 90,000 miles on it since ’89 and even though most driving
seems  comfortable on the open road, it’s getting extra jarring on small
bumps.  I’m NOT looking for anything race style stiff.  Know of any
compromise level in a brand name unit?

Thanks

    Bob,

    I have Koni’s and am very happy with them.  They are adjustable and on
    ‘Full-Soft’ the ride is just like stock.

    Inside the "Monroe" box are Tokico shocks, exactly the same as
    what came on the car.
