Koni Str or KYB Excel-G

Hi all,
Apologize in advance if this was answered before. New to the forum and the MX world with a 1998 NB purchased about 3 months ago, with 190K on the clock. Car is shaking left/right when hit bumps or holes at high speed, the ride height on the rear differs by 2 cm between left and right (325 (R) and 345 (L) mm), and front is OK (325mm on either side). Found the lower flange of the left shocker where the spring sits on is crooked. See attached photo. A new set of shocks for the rear is unavoidable, and most likely a full new set for 4. The shocks and springs in the car are still original from factory. Should be able source either the Koni Str or KYB Excel-G from US virtually at the same price ($260 app.) plus Shipito. The car is only for daily road drive, and like to keep the original spring. Unable to make up my mind on the pick, and like to seek the expert opinion here which one should be a better choice. Thanks all in advance.
