Bilstien is top shelf, and KONI are very good too. but for a everyday street wagon with mild Aseries any of the brands you mentioned are fine. i have munro's i think they cost me $120 -145 around those figures.

Best bet is to give John Taylor at Penrith Pedders a call - he has heaps of experience with 1200 suspensions. He even raced a 1200 wagon!

Datsun 1000 vans [wagons] are quite uncommon, but i would not call them "like rare", & one was [is] for sale here.

As for pre 1970 Datsun 1200's, now there's a rare one. From available material, it would seem that they were produced from about January 1970, so any pre '70's would likly be prototypes & pre production examples. One of these would be a treasure.
