The suspension on my Vanagon is brutal.
It has KYB shocks, the adjustable kind.
They are about 15 years old but not that great a mileage.
Is there anything better that wont cost an arm and a leg?

There is a road near me that has 4 or 5 'dips' to drain water from a field to drains on the opposite side of the pavement.
My Mercedes sails over them with teutonic panache.
The Vanagon lurches over them with a jaw jarring bump and my head almost hits the roof for each one.
