Shock pkgs for a 968 DE/weekender

The rear shocks in my new-to-me 968 are blown, and the fronts are over 10 years old and over 50k miles. I realize as I type this that I should have checked to see what they are, but ... It's at the shop now for a couple front-end seals, belts, etc.

The car's all stock from a review of the service records, and was not built with M030. I'm wondering what packages folks might recommend for a car that I hope to use for tours/rallies, weekend trips, and as many DE days as I can fit in my schedule.

First thing that comes to mind are Koni Sports at all four corners, and I see packages from outfits like Ground Control (Konis and all the trimmings: http://www.ground-control-store.com/products/description.php?II=696) or the SPEC 3 package at Paragon (http://www.*****************.com/product_p/944spec-3.htm). The SPEC package seems particularly interesting since it brings up the sway and torsion bars to suit the improved shocks. In fact part of that comes from yesterday's thread "Question on Koni Sport's."

Suggestions welcome -- thanks in advance.
